Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip cream cheese until smooth.

Notes
- Fresh peaches are recommended for the best flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
- For a nut-free version, omit nuts or replace them with sunflower/pumpkin seeds for crunch.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container
