Why Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Is So Irresistible

Peach cobbler is known for its warmth and familiarity, while cheesecake is prized for its smoothness and depth. When combined, these two desserts elevate each other.

This recipe works beautifully because it is:

• Rich but balanced
• Creamy with layers of texture
• Comforting yet refined
• Perfect for make-ahead desserts
• Universally loved

The natural sweetness and acidity of peaches cut through the richness of the cheesecake, while cinnamon and vanilla tie everything together.

• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Cobbler Topping

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

• ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Preparation Time

• Prep time: 35 minutes

• Baking time: 75–85 minutes

• Cooling time: 2 hours

• Chilling time: 4 hours or overnight

• Total time: About 8 hours

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until evenly moistened.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Peach Cobbler Filling

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently and cook until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 5–7 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Batter

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add granulated sugar and mix until fully incorporated.

Blend in sour cream and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Finally, stir in flour just until combined.

Avoid overmixing to maintain a creamy texture.

Step 4: Assemble the Layers

Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the surface.

Spoon the peach cobbler filling evenly over the cheesecake layer. Gently swirl slightly if desired, but keep layers mostly distinct.

Step 5: Make the Cobbler Topping

In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter using fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches.

Step 6: Bake

Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 75–85 minutes. The center should be just set with a slight jiggle.

Turn off the oven, crack the door, and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

Step 7: Chill and Set

Remove from oven and cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.
