Ingredients Notes

This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is made with simple yet essential ingredients that create the perfect balance of flavor and texture.

The graham cracker crust provides a buttery, slightly crunchy base that complements the smooth cheesecake. Be sure to use finely crushed graham crackers to ensure an even, compact crust.

For the cheesecake filling, cream cheese is the star. Use full-fat cream cheese at room temperature for the creamiest texture. A little sour cream adds extra tang and smoothness.

The peach topping is where the magic happens. Fresh peaches are best for their natural sweetness and juiciness, but canned or frozen peaches can work in a pinch. A mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg gives the topping its warm, comforting flavor.

A touch of cornstarch helps thicken the peach filling, so it stays beautifully atop the cheesecake instead of sinking into it.

Lastly, a crumbly streusel topping made from butter, flour, and sugar adds a final layer of texture and sweetness.

How To Make This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Making this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is easier than you think. Here’s how to bring it all together.

Start by preparing the graham cracker crust. Mix the crumbs with melted butter and a little sugar, then press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes to set the crust before adding the filling.

For the cheesecake filling, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add eggs one at a time. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract for extra creaminess. Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and smooth the top.

While the cheesecake bakes, prepare the peach topping. In a saucepan, cook the sliced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of lemon juice. Let them simmer until they’re soft and coated in a syrupy glaze. Stir in cornstarch to thicken the mixture slightly.

Once the cheesecake has cooled slightly, spoon the peach topping over it. Then, mix together flour, butter, and sugar to create a streusel, and sprinkle it generously on top.

Return the cheesecake to the oven for a short bake to set the topping. Let it cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Storage Options

Proper storage ensures your Peach Cobbler Cheesecake stays fresh and delicious.

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The flavors meld beautifully over time, making it even more delicious after a day or two.

For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to slightly soften the peach topping while keeping the cheesecake cool.

Variations and Substitutions

One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility! Here are a few ways to switch things up:

• Swap the graham cracker crust for a vanilla wafer or shortbread crust for a different base flavor.
• Use canned or frozen peaches if fresh ones aren’t in season. Just be sure to drain excess liquid to avoid a soggy topping.
• Try adding pecans or walnuts to the streusel for a nutty crunch.
• If you love spice, increase the cinnamon and nutmeg in the peach topping for an extra warm, comforting flavor.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving for a decadent finishing touch.
