Sweet peaches, creamy cheesecake, and butterscotch make this cheesecake a winner

The first cheesecake I made from this book was the Butterscotch Peach Cheesecake.  I made it for a luncheon at work and it was amazing.  I had so many compliments on it.  The cheesecake is made with caramel sauce and fresh peaches on a graham cracker crust.

It is so creamy and thick.  There is the flavor of peaches and a subtle butterscotch note.   It’s perfect for sharing with friends and helped start off a great summer at work!
