- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened at room temperature

- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- In a mixing bowl, combine the almonds, graham cracker crumbs and butter with fork until fully incorporated. Press into the bottom of the pan.
- Using a handheld or a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and no lumps remain. While mixing, add the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, almond extract and flour. Mix until fully combined. Reserve a heaping tablespoon of batter and pour the rest over the graham cracker crust.
- In a mini food processor or blender, puree the peaches along with the reserved tablespoon of batter until completely smooth.
