Instructions
Make the crust; line a 9-inch springform cake pan with parchment paper.
Combine ground crackers, butter, and sugar in a bowl. It should look like wet sand. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it down firmly. Set the crust aside.
Make the filling; in a small bowl, combine water and gelatin. Set it aside for 5 minutes.
Beat the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer.
Melt the gelatin in a microwave and whisk it into the cream cheese mixture. Add the peach puree and stir until smooth.
Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold the heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to the cake pan and smooth the top. Refrigerate the cake for 1 hour.
Make the peach jelly; combine water and gelatin powder in a bowl. Set it aside for 5 minutes to bloom.
Microwave the gelatin for 15-20 seconds or until melted. Let the gelatin cool down for a few seconds. Combine gelatin, peach puree, lemon juice, and sugar in a bowl.
Pour the peach jelly over the cheesecake. Chill the cake for 3-4 hours or until the jelly and cake are set.
Carefully remove the cake and decorate it with peaches and some whipped cream, slice, then serve.
