Ingredients
Base
  • 250 gr ginger biscuits
  • 120 gr butter
Filling
  • 900 gr cream cheese
  • 225 gr sugar
  • 115 gr yoghurt
  • 8 gr vanilla flavour
  • 5 eggs
  • 30 gr white flour
  • 250 gr drained tinned peaches
Topping
  • 225 gr raspberry jam
  • 250 gr drained tinned peaches
  • 50 gr white chocolate
  • 12 mint tops
Instructions
Base
  1. Heat the oven to 130 ºC, grease the gastro tray with butter and line bottom and sides with baking paper.
  2. Melt the butter. Crush the biscuits and mix with the melted butter. Spread the crumps over the base of the tray and press them down. Store the tray with crumble base in the fridge until later use so the butter sets.
Filling
  1. Mix the cream cheese, sugar, yoghurt, and vanilla flavour to taste until combined.
  2. Add the eggs gradually and mix until smooth. Stir in the flour until combined.
  3. Drain the peaches and divide equally over the chilled base of the cheesecake.
  4. Pour the filling on the crumble bottom to cover the peaches.
  5. Bake the cheesecake in the oven for about 1 hour or until set. A skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  6. Remove the cheesecake from the oven, cool to room temperature on a wire rack and store in the fridge.
Topping
  1. When ready to serve, spread the raspberry jam on top of the cheesecake.
  2. Decorate with the grated white chocolate and mint tops.
Stuff to know
This cheesecake recipe is enough for a spring form with a 26 cm Ø and yields 12 to 16 portions.
Prepare the cheesecake well in advance so that is has time to cool.
An alternative topping is to soak 8 gr of leaf gelatine in ample cold water until hydrated. Warm 100 gr water without boiling, and stir in the gelatine to dissolve. Mix with 150 gr raspberry jam until combined. Pour this on top of the cheesecake, decorate with the remaining peaches and let it set in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Decorate with the grated white chocolate and sprigs of mint when serving.
The name peach melba refers to the combination of peaches, raspberry and vanilla.
