Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, I first prepare the peaches. If you’re lucky enough to have fresh peaches, chop them up and toss them in a bowl with the sugar and cinnamon. Let them sit as they release their juices; this adds so much flavor! Meanwhile, in another bowl, I mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until it’s nice and creamy. Then, I add in the eggs one at a time, ensuring everything is well incorporated. My mouth is already watering just thinking about the combination. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
