Crème Brûlée Cheesecake

Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. Freestone peaches are easiest to peel.

Don’t skip the lemon juice — it brightens the flavor and balances the sweetness.

The cold butter is essential for a flaky topping; keep it refrigerated until use.

Boiling water activates the baking powder quickly; mix and assemble promptly.

For a deeper flavor, sprinkle a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom into the peach filling.

For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days; reheat gently in the oven.
