Ingredients
  

2 large ripe peaches, pitted and sliced into thin wedges

1 cup cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lime

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey, vanilla extract, lime zest, lime juice, brown sugar, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

    Slice the Peaches: Carefully slice the peaches into wedges, ensuring they are not too thick (about 1/4 inch) to allow for easy assembling.

      Assemble the Bites: Lay out the peach wedges on a serving platter. Using a small spoon or piping bag, generously dollop or pipe the cream cheese mixture onto each peach wedge, ensuring they are well-covered.

        Chill (Optional): For added freshness, you can refrigerate the assembled peach bites for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

          Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle a pinch of fresh mint leaves on top of the cream cheese for a pop of color and added flavor. Enjoy these delightful zesty peach bites as a refreshing snack or an elegant appetizer!
