Description
Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is the ultimate fusion of two classic desserts. With a rich, creamy cheesecake layer, sweet peach filling, and a buttery cobbler topping, this dessert is a crowd-pleaser perfect for any season.
Ingredients
For the peach filling and topping:
8 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
For the graham cracker crust:
3 cups graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake layer:
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup sour cream
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons cornstarch
For the cobbler topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup boiling water
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine sliced peaches, lemon juice, sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened. Let it cool.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, sour cream, and cornstarch, mixing until well combined. Gently mix in eggs just until incorporated.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust. Bake in a water bath at 425°F for 13–15 minutes until the top is slightly set.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Add a layer of the cooked peaches over the cheesecake, then pour in the remaining cheesecake batter. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the center is almost set.
- For the cobbler topping, mix flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until crumbly, then stir in boiling water to form a thick batter.
- Arrange a few peach slices over the cheesecake and spoon dollops of cobbler batter on top. Bake for another 20–25 minutes until golden.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake sit for 1 hour. Remove and cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours or overnight.
- Run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing. Serve with extra peach topping and sauce if desired.
Notes
- Use frozen peaches if fresh ones aren’t available—just thaw and drain them first.
- For a spiced twist, add cinnamon or nutmeg directly to the cheesecake batter.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours for the best texture and flavor.
- Freeze individual slices wrapped tightly for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
