Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by crushing the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
- Melt the butter, then combine it with the graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar in a mixing bowl.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-9 inch square pan to form a solid crust, then set aside while you prepare the next layer.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy cheesecake layer.
- Once combined, pour this mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill briefly in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, mix the cornstarch with water and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the orange Jello until fully dissolved.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature while you chop the fresh peaches.
- Just before adding the peaches to your topping, dice the fresh peaches into small, bite-sized pieces to prevent browning.
- Gently fold the chopped peaches into the cooled cornstarch mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Carefully spoon the peach mixture over the cheesecake layer in your prepared pan, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Once assembled, cover the pan with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to set for 1-2 hours.
- After chilling, remove the Peach Delight from the refrigerator. Use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or rectangles for serving.
- Enjoy each bite chilled for a refreshing summer dessert.
