In another bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
In a small bowl, toss the diced peaches with lemon juice to prevent browning. Gently fold the peaches into the cheesecake filling.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
