Luxurious, creamy New York style Cheesecake Topped with Fresh Nectarines. One of my very favorite indulgent desserts is a really good cheesecake! There is something so wonderful about that thick, sweet graham cracker crust and that filling, ohhhh that beautiful filling! This one is perfect; light, creamy, just a little bit sweet. If that wasn’t amazing enough, I topped this one wit a really simple fresh nectarine topping. Fresh picked nectarines are gently cooked in a mixture of water, vanilla, granulated and brown sugars. They add a wonderful brightness to this cheesecake.
The funny thing about cheesecake, its really not all that hard to make! The crust couldn’t be easier with some graham cracker crumbs stirred up up with melted butter. You simply press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a spring form pan, pop in the oven and bake for just 8-10 minutes. The filling is a mixture of cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, sugar and heavy cream {like I said, this is an indulgence}. Beat everything together and pour it right into the pan, baked for an hour and a half. The fresh nectarine can be made ahead of time and then poured overtop just before serving or served on the side.
