Ingredients (in Cups and Grams)
For the Base:
Biscuits (cookies), crushed – 200 g (about 2 cups crushed biscuits)
Butter, melted – 90 g (½ cup melted butter)
For the Filling:
Fresh peaches, diced – 300 g (about 2 cups diced peaches)
Plain yogurt – 300 g (1¼ cups)
Heavy cream (milk cream) – 400 ml (1¾ cups)
Sweetened condensed milk – 200 g (¾ cup)
Agar-Agar powder – 15 g (about 1½ tablespoons)
Optional Topping:
Chopped almonds – 15 g (2 tablespoons)
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base
Crush biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
Melt butter and combine it thoroughly with biscuit crumbs.
Press the mixture firmly into an 18 cm (7-inch) springform pan, forming an even layer on the bottom. Refrigerate briefly while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Peach Yogurt Filling
Dice fresh peaches into small cubes. Set aside.
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and agar-agar powder.
Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a gentle boil while continuously stirring. Allow it to boil gently for 1–2 minutes to activate agar-agar completely. Remove from heat and cool slightly (for about 5 minutes).
Step 3: Combine the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, gently whisk yogurt until smooth.
Add diced peaches to the yogurt and stir gently.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled cream mixture into the yogurt-peach blend, mixing continuously until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour the filling gently over the prepared biscuit crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula or spoon.
