Ingredients Notes

The magic of this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake lies in its carefully chosen ingredients, each playing a vital role in its incredible taste and texture.

Graham Cracker Crust: This classic cheesecake base is made with finely crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and a bit of sugar. The buttery crunch complements the creamy filling beautifully.

Cream Cheese: The star of any cheesecake! Make sure to use full-fat cream cheese at room temperature to achieve a smooth, rich filling.

Peaches: Fresh peaches are ideal for a vibrant, juicy topping, but canned peaches work just as well if you’re making this outside of peach season.

Cobbler Topping: A mixture of flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon creates a crumbly, golden-brown topping that adds the perfect crunch.

Cinnamon and Nutmeg: These warm spices elevate the peach topping, giving it that classic cobbler flavor.

A springform pan is essential for this recipe to easily release the cheesecake without damaging its delicate layers.

How to Make This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Making this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake may seem elaborate, but each step is simple when broken down. Let’s walk through the process together.

First, prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes to set the crust before adding the filling.

For the cheesecake layer, beat the room-temperature cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently to avoid incorporating too much air. Stir in vanilla extract and a splash of heavy cream to enhance the richness. Pour this mixture over the cooled crust and bake until the center is just set.

While the cheesecake bakes, prepare the peach topping. In a saucepan, cook sliced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until they release their juices and become tender. A touch of cornstarch thickens the syrup, making it perfect for layering over the cheesecake.

For the cobbler topping, mix flour, butter, and sugar until crumbly, then sprinkle it over the peach mixture. Bake the topping separately until golden brown and crispy.

Once the cheesecake has cooled completely, spoon the peach topping over it and sprinkle with the cobbler crumbs. Let everything chill in the refrigerator for a few hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together perfectly.

Storage Options

This cheesecake stores beautifully, making it a great make-ahead dessert.

For refrigeration, keep the cheesecake covered in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The flavors will continue to develop, making it taste even better the next day!

For freezing, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, let a slice thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

To reheat, if you prefer a warm peach topping, heat a portion in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, but avoid overheating to maintain the creamy cheesecake texture.

Variations and Substitutions

The beauty of this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is how easily you can customize it to your preference.

Gluten-Free Option: Swap out the graham crackers for gluten-free cookies and use a gluten-free flour blend for the cobbler topping.
Different Fruit Toppings: Try swapping the peaches for apples, cherries, or berries for a fun twist on this recipe.
Spiced Crust: Add a pinch of cinnamon to the graham cracker crust to enhance the warm flavors of the cobbler topping.
Lighter Version: Use reduced-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream for a slightly lighter but still delicious cheesecake.
Extra Crunch: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts into the cobbler topping for an added layer of texture and nutty flavor.

Don’t be afraid to get creative! This cheesecake is a blank canvas for your favorite flavors and textures.
