Ingredients & Substitutions

Cheesecake Base:

  • Cream Cheese: The foundation of any good cheesecake. Use full-fat for the richest texture.
  • Sugar: Just the right amount to sweeten the creamy filling.
  • Eggs: Essential for structure and creaminess.
  • Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt: Adds a touch of tanginess and smooth consistency.
  • Vanilla Extract: Enhances the depth of flavor.

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • Graham Crackers: The classic choice, but you can swap in digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers.
  • Butter: Helps hold the crust together and adds a rich taste.
  • Brown Sugar: A hint of molasses flavor makes it extra delicious.
  • Cinnamon: Complements the peaches beautifully.

Peach Cobbler Topping:

  • Fresh or Canned Peaches: Fresh peaches bring the best flavor, but canned peaches work when out of season. Learn more about the health benefits of peaches.

  • Brown Sugar & Cinnamon: Creates that cozy, caramelized goodness.
  • Flour & Butter: Forms a golden, crispy cobbler topping.
  • Nutmeg & Vanilla: A little extra spice goes a long way!

How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Step 1: Make the Graham Cracker Crust

Start by crushing graham crackers into fine crumbs (a food processor makes this easy). Mix the crumbs with melted butter, brown sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Press the mixture into a springform pan and bake for about 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C). This gives the crust a toasty flavor and keeps it from getting soggy.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream and vanilla. Mix until silky and well combined, then pour over the pre-baked crust. Bake at 325°F (163°C) in a water bath to ensure a creamy texture and prevent cracks.

Step 3: Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping

While the cheesecake bakes, cook your peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla over medium heat. If using canned peaches, drain them well before cooking. Let the mixture thicken slightly, then remove from heat.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter to create a crumbly topping. This will add the perfect cobbler-like crunch.

Step 4: Assemble & Finish Baking

Once the cheesecake is mostly set (about 45-50 minutes into baking), carefully spoon the peach mixture on top. Sprinkle the crumbly cobbler topping over the peaches, then return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes until the topping is golden brown.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best). This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Toppings & Variations

  • Caramel Drizzle: A touch of caramel sauce makes this even more decadent.
  • Whipped Cream: A dollop of fresh whipped cream adds a light, airy contrast.
  • Pecan Crunch: For an extra crunch, sprinkle some toasted pecans on top before serving.
  • Bourbon Peaches: Add a splash of bourbon to the peaches for a sophisticated twist.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze Peach Cobbler Cheesecake for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly and thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 5: Assemble and Bake
