This is the window. Peaches are at their best right now, and in two weeks they go back to being tennis balls that taste like cardboard. So we don’t cook them. They go into the food processor raw, and that puree becomes the entire filling. No flavouring, no syrupy can. I tried it with canned peaches in heavy syrup once and it tasted like almost nothing. Get fresh ones, dead ripe, the kind you can smell from across the kitchen!<\/p>\n
Most recipes that call themselves no bake still bake the crust for eight or nine minutes. Not this one. Graham crackers get crushed, mixed with melted butter, pressed into the pan, done. What holds the cake together is gelatin. No eggs, raw or cooked, no water bath, no crack across the top to patch with sour cream. The only heat in the whole recipe is two minutes on very low to dissolve the gelatin. In August or September, not turning on the oven changes your whole afternoon.<\/p>\n
Everybody lays peach slices on top of a cheesecake. I pour a real peach jelly over mine instead, made from the puree I set aside at the start. You get a second texture, a yellow mirror that catches the light when you cut the first slice, and a second hit of peach at the end of every bite. It is also what makes the thing look like it came out of a bakery when it came out of your fridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
