Instructions
Toss diced peaches with honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 10–15 minutes until juicy and glossy.
Combine crushed vanilla wafers, melted butter, and honey. Press firmly into a lined square pan to form the base. Chill for 20 minutes.
Whip cream cheese, mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and vanilla extract until smooth, thick, and fluffy.
Spread half the vanilla cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust. Spoon the macerated peaches evenly on top. Cover with the remaining cheesecake mixture and smooth the surface. Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours until fully set.
Warm honey, water, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until thin and pourable.
Lift dessert from the pan and cut into neat cubes.
Drizzle generously with warm honey sauce.
Garnish with fresh peach slices, white chocolate curls, crushed cookies, edible gold dust, and mint leaves.
