Ingredients
  

For the Peach Filling:

4 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Creamy Topping:

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Crisp Topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Pinch of salt

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Filling:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the peaches with the mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes so the flavors meld together.

      Make the Creamy Topping:

        - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

          - Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until you have a smooth and creamy consistency. Set aside.

            Prepare the Crisp Topping:

              - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

                - In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, melted butter, salt, and nutmeg until crumbly and well combined.

                  Assemble the Crisp:

                    - In a 9x13-inch baking dish, pour the peach filling evenly across the bottom.

                      - Spoon dollops of the creamy topping over the peaches, spreading it gently to cover as much surface area as possible.

                        - Finally, sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the creamy layer.

                          Bake:

                            - Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach mixture is bubbling around the edges.

                              Serve:

                                - Allow the Creamy Crisp to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
