Instructions

Crust

Combine graham crackers, sugar, and salt in a food processor; whirl until fine crumbs form. Pulse in butter until combined, mixture should clump together when pressed. Mist or grease bottom of 9-inch springform pan.
Scrape the graham mixture into prepared pan and press with bottom of dry measuring cup over the base and up 1/2-inch side of pan. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.

Cheesecake filling

Meanwhile, whip 35% cream in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a bowl and refrigerate.
Meanwhile, bloom gelatin; stir with cold water in a microwave-safe bowl, about 5 minutes.
Beat cream cheese in same bowl of stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on low to medium-low until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Scrape bottom and side of bowl; beat in sugar and lemon juice for 1 minute. Beat in yogurt.
Melt bloomed gelatin in microwave; fold in some of the whipped cream, then scrape into cream cheese mixture and beat on low until incorporated. Fold in remaining whipped cream.
Stir in Hedessent Candied Peach Flavour and Hedessent Classic Vanilla Flavour. Scrape into prepared base, smoothing out until even. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Insert hot paring knife between cheesecake and pan collar; gently release the collar and lift out cheesecake. For clean slices, dip a chef’s knife under hot water and dry before each cut.
