An awesome cheesecake recipe spotlighting the Georgia peach. Georgia-grown peaches are recognized for a superior flavor, texture, and appearance. Georgia is known as the "Peach State" because of its long-standing history with peaches and the growers' reputation for producing premium quality fruit. This mini cheesecake recipe uses pecans and cream cheese to blend a fabulous taste and texture. Enjoy with a cool glass of lemonade!

1 cup finely chopped pecans

3/4 cup skim milk

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1 envelope unflavored gelatin

1/4 cup cold water

3 cups peeled and sliced Georgia peaches

12 paper liners for regular size muffin tins

2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese

1. Stir together pecans and margarine in a small bowl.

2. Spoon equal amounts of mixture into paper-lined muffin tins, pressing evenly.

3. Soften gelatin in water in a small saucepan; stir over low heat until dissolved.

4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, milk and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until well-blended.

5. Stir in gelatin. Pour equal amounts into muffin tins: freeze until firm.

6. Place peach slices in food processor or blender; process until smooth.

7. Just before serving, spoon peach puree onto individual plates.

8. Remove cheesecakes from freezer 10 minutes before serving: peel off paper.

9. Invert cheesecakes onto top of peach puree on each plate.

Garnish with additional peach slices and fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Makes 12 servings.

*Hint: Removing cheesecakes from muffin tins is much easier if tins are first sprayed with non-stick vegetable spray.
