Lemon Cheesecake with Poached Peaches

A creamy, delicious lemon cheesecake mousse served in a glass and garnished with wine poached peaches and an almond crunch. Ideal when you are looking for a light summer dessert that is refreshing and easy to prepare!

Instructions

for the cheesecake mousse

In a bowl add the cream cheese, creme fraiche, grate the lemon zest on top and add the juice of the lemon. Mix well.
In a seperate bowl using a whisk, or an electric mixer or kitchen aid, whip the cream together with the sugar until soft peaks form.
Carefully fold the whipped cream under the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Taste the mousse and add more lemon juice if required.
Transfer the mousse in a piping bag and keep refrigerated.

for the almond crunch

Combine the room temperature butter, sugar, flour and almond flour in a bowl. Mix all ingredients together using your fingertips and rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles a crumble.
Line an oven tray with baking paper and spread the crumble evenly onto the baking tray. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170°C ( 375°F) for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until you need it.

for the garnish

Slice the poached peaches in equal size wedges. Reduce the poaching liquid to ⅔ and cool down. Taste the reduced liquid and add lemon juice if required to balance out the sweetness.

to assemble

Pipe or spoon the cheesecake mousse inside the bottom of the glasses. Add 2-3 peach slices and drizzle some poaching liquid over it. Sprinkle with the almond crunch.
Repeat all the steps again if you want to add a second layer.
Garnish with fresh mint (optional) and serve
