Sweet Peach Cream Cheese Balls: An Easy Dessert Recipe
The Perfect Harmony of Creamy Cream Cheese and Sweet Peaches: Making Peach Cream Cheese Balls
Introducing ‘Peach Cream Cheese Balls,’ a delightful dessert that brings joy to your palate with the perfect blend of flavorful cream cheese and sweet peaches. The cream cheese used is made from a base of 6-8% fat cream, ensuring a smooth and delicate texture. Unlike traditional cheeses, it offers a pleasant tanginess instead of saltiness, with a nutty finish. It has a high moisture content and over 45% fat; if the fat content exceeds 65%, it’s classified as ‘double cream cheese.’ While starters and rennet are sometimes used in fermentation, double cream cheese is fermented solely with starters, enhancing its unique flavor. It’s perishable, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. This cheese is versatile, perfect for canapés, sandwiches, salad dressings, desserts, cookies, and cheesecakes.

Main Ingredients- 3 slices of ripe yellow peaches
- 90g cream cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 3 slices of ripe yellow peaches, which are the star of this dessert. Remove the pits from the peaches and cut them into appropriate sizes.
Step 2
Next, prepare 90g of smooth and fresh cream cheese. If the cream cheese has just been taken from the refrigerator, it might be firm. It’s best to let it sit at room temperature for a bit to soften, making it easier to spread on the peaches.
Step 3
Place the prepared peach slices in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes. The key is to bake them until they become slightly tender and their sweetness intensifies.
Step 4
After baking, let the peaches cool down slightly before using them. This step is important to prevent the hot peaches from melting the cream cheese too quickly, allowing them to reach a suitable temperature.
Step 5
Finally, generously top the slightly cooled peach slices with the softened cream cheese you prepared. You can adjust the amount of cream cheese according to your preference. And just like that, your simple yet elegant Peach Cream Cheese Balls are ready!
