How to make cheesecake with peaches and poppy seeds – tips
For this cheesecake, you need to prepare shortcrust pastry, and you will also need two cans of peaches (or a kilogram of fruit), dry poppy seeds (the kind in grains), and coconut flakes.
The cake is not difficult to make, so I think you’ll manage it easily :)
What kind of quark cheese for cheesecake with peaches?
You must use good quality quark cheese here. Preferably full-fat or semi-fat. If you are using block quark cheese, you must grind it first. I made my work easier here and used quark cheese from a bucket. Remember that even when using bucket quark cheese, you must use a full-fat and very thick one. Lighter and looser quark cheeses (like President, for example) will not support the poppy seed mass on top, and everything might collapse during baking!
Among bucket quark cheeses, I recommend Piątnica or Mój Ulubiony. I usually use Piątnica and it has never let me down.
So buy good quark cheese and bake this cheesecake with peaches and poppy seeds for Christmas or any other occasion.
I also recommend the recipe for cheesecake-poppy seed cake, for freckled cheesecake, and for orange cheesecake on a poppy seed base.
Ps. I recommend following my instagram for delicious and easy recipes!

Peach Cheesecake with Poppy Seeds
A recipe for a delicious cheesecake on a shortcrust base with plenty of diced canned peaches. Additionally, this cheesecake has an amazing meringue with poppy seeds and coconut flakes on top, as well as grated shortcrust pastry. This cheesecake might look complicated, but it's not! You just need to organize your work properly. Prepare the shortcrust pastry in advance and put it in the fridge - you can even do it a day earlier. Then, pre-bake part of the pastry and let it cool. Now we prepare the cheesecake with peaches. I usually quickly mix all the ingredients together and spread them on the base. I add whole eggs to the cheese mixture - I don't mix the whites separately. The most important ingredient is the quark cheese - use good, thick, and full-fat quark. This is to support the weight of the poppy seed and coconut meringue and the grated pastry!
For the poppy seed and coconut layer, whisk the egg whites with sugar as for meringue - until they are white, very thick, and shiny. Then add the poppy seeds and coconut flakes and gently mix.
