🍑 Ingredients

For the Cobbler Crust & Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temperature

For the Peach Layer

  • 3 cups sliced fresh peaches (or canned peaches, drained)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (slurry, for thickening)

Optional Garnishes

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra peach slices
  • Mint leaves

🥣 Instructions & Methods

1️⃣ Make the Cobbler Crust & Topping

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Add cold butter cubes. Cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Set aside ¾ cup of this crumb mixture for the topping.
  4. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Let cool.

2️⃣ Make the Peach Filling

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
  2. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring, until peaches release juices and soften.
  3. Stir in cornstarch slurry. Cook 1-2 more minutes until thickened.
  4. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly.

3️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Batter

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Add sugar and mix until incorporated.
  3. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed. Add vanilla.
  4. Fold in sour cream just until combined.

4️⃣ Assemble & Bake

  1. Pour cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
  2. Gently spoon the peach mixture over the top, swirling slightly with a knife.
  3. Sprinkle reserved cobbler crumbs evenly over peaches.
  4. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  5. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).

🏗️ Formation (Putting it all together)

  • Release from the springform pan.
  • Top with extra fresh peach slices, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar if you like.
  • Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean edges.
