How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Prepare Graham Cracker Crust: Start by combining crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture evenly into a springform pan and bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until set and just golden.
Roast Peaches: Slice your fresh peaches into wedges and toss them with butter, sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, until caramelized and soft.
Mix Cheesecake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, blend room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in eggs, mixing one at a time to keep the batter smooth and avoid overmixing.
Layer Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the baked crust, then gently layer the roasted peach slices on top. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the peaches before carefully pouring in the remaining cheesecake batter.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set—it should have a slight jiggle. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Top with Extra Peaches (optional): Right before serving, feel free to spread additional roasted peaches on top to enhance its appeal and flavor.

Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an added touch of indulgence.

Helpful Tricks for Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Cold ingredients can lead to lumps in your cheesecake.
Watch the Bake Time: Avoid overbaking the cheesecake; it should be jiggly in the center when you take it out. Overbaking can lead to cracks, affecting texture.
Cool Before Chilling: Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature before putting it in the fridge. This step helps it set properly without condensation.
Use a Sharp Knife: When slicing your Peach Cobbler Cheesecake, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water. This keeps slices clean and preserves the beautiful layers.
Flavor Boost: For more depth, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the peach mixture. It enhances the sweet and tart balance of the peaches beautifully.
Presentation Tip: If serving for a special occasion, create a small mountain of roasted peaches on top before serving to impress your guests!

Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Recipe FAQs

What kind of peaches are best for this recipe?
Fresh, ripe peaches are ideal for this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake, offering the best flavor and texture. Look for peaches that are firm yet slightly soft to the touch without dark spots. If you can’t find fresh peaches, you can use canned peaches, but I recommend roasting fresh ones for that caramelized burst of flavor.

This storage method ensures that the flavors meld together beautifully while keeping the cheesecake fresh and creamy. Be sure to let it cool completely before refrigerating to maintain its texture.

For best results, you might want to consider reheating each slice in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds for a delightful, freshly enjoyed taste.

What if my cheesecake cracks while baking?
Very common! If your cheesecake cracks during baking, it may be due to overmixing the batter or baking at too high a temperature.

Remember to cool the cheesecake gradually to prevent temperature shock, which can also lead to cracks.
