Infused Peach Topping
Step 1
Combine all ingredients in a jar, cover and let sit for minimum 30-60 minutes

Filling
Step 3
Boil cashews for 30 minutes, drain the water and transfer cashews to a blender along with coconut cream, vanilla extract, Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Powdered Sugar and peaches. Blend until very smooth and well combined. Don’t remove the mixture from the blender as yet.
Step 4
In a saucepan combine oat milk, arrowroot starch and agar agar powder. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken. Don’t allow the mixture to set in the pan and immediately transfer the mixture to the same blender and blend again until well combined with the rest of the cheesecake filling.
Step 5
Pour mixture over the prepared cheesecake crust and freeze for 3 hours. Transfer cheesecake to the refrigerator and allow to chill overnight.

When ready to serve cheesecake, decorate cheesecake with infused peaches along with other fresh fruits of choice.
Additional Tips
Substitute Peach Schnapps with gluten-free vodka: In a saucepan, combine water, vodka and sugar to taste. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until reduced and slightly thickened. Pour into a jar with fresh peaches and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Prepare Peach Bellini Jelly minimum 2-6 hours prior to serving the cheesecake.
