Melba Cheesecake Pie is a classic dessert that brings together the tangy and creamy filling of cheesecake with the sweet and juicy flavors of peaches and raspberries. This dessert is perfect for those who love the combination of fruit and sweet creaminess in their desserts. The crust is made of sweet, buttery graham cracker crumbs, and it serves as the perfect base for the filling. The filling is made of cream cheese, sour cream, egg, and almond extract, which provides a creamy tanginess that balances out the sweetness of the fruit toppings. Topped with a raspberry jam and amaretto liqueur glaze, this dessert is both beautiful and delicious.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.Melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave.

4.Arrange peach halves, flat side down, over the crust in a circular pattern. Set aside.
5.Beat cream cheese and 1/3 cup sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; beat in sour cream, egg, and almond extract until well combined. Pour cream cheese mixture over the peach halves.
6.Bake in the preheated oven until cheesecake filling is set, about 40 minutes.
7.Warm raspberry jam in microwave or on the stove top until melted. Stir in amaretto liqueur.
8.Remove cheesecake from the oven and spoon raspberry jam mixture over the top.
