Ingredients Notes

The magic of this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake lies in its carefully chosen ingredients. Each one plays a key role in creating the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
The graham cracker crust forms the foundation of this cheesecake. A mix of crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter creates a sturdy yet tender base that holds up beautifully under the creamy filling. You can also swap in vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits for a slight twist.
For the cheesecake filling, cream cheese is the star of the show. Be sure to use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture. Granulated sugar, eggs, and sour cream help create a smooth, rich consistency, while a splash of vanilla extract enhances the flavor.
The peach topping is where the cobbler magic happens. Fresh peaches, brown sugar, and a touch of cinnamon come together to create a warm, caramelized topping that takes this dessert to the next level. If fresh peaches aren’t available, canned or frozen ones work just as well!
A buttery cobbler topping adds that classic, slightly crisp texture. A mix of flour, sugar, butter, and a hint of cinnamon bakes up into a delicious crumble that pairs beautifully with the juicy peaches and creamy cheesecake.
A springform pan is essential for baking this cheesecake. It ensures the cheesecake bakes evenly and allows for an easy, mess-free release once it’s set.
How to Make This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Creating this mouthwatering Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is easier than you might think. Follow these steps for a foolproof, bakery-worthy dessert.
Start by preparing the crust. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until set, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.
For the cheesecake layer, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract for extra creaminess. Pour the batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Next, prepare the peach cobbler topping. In a saucepan, cook sliced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of lemon juice until soft and syrupy. Spoon the peaches over the cheesecake batter, gently spreading them out.
For the cobbler crumble, mix flour, sugar, and cinnamon, then cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this over the peaches for that classic cobbler texture.
Bake the cheesecake in a water bath at 325°F for about 1 hour, or until the center is just set. The water bath helps prevent cracks and keeps the cheesecake silky smooth. Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open. Then, chill it for at least 4 hours—overnight is even better!
Storage Options
This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake stores beautifully, making it a great make-ahead dessert.
For refrigeration, keep the cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. A cake container or loosely wrapped plastic wrap works well to keep it fresh.
To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight for the best texture.
When reheating, warm individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if you prefer a slightly warm peach topping. Otherwise, enjoy it straight from the fridge for a creamy, chilled treat.
Variations and Substitutions
One of the best things about this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is how versatile it is! Here are some ways to customize it to your taste.
Switch up the fruit topping. While peaches are the star here, you can easily swap them for apples, berries, or even a mix of different fruits for a unique twist.
Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free graham crackers for the crust and a gluten-free flour blend for the cobbler topping. It’s just as delicious and perfect for those with dietary restrictions.
Add a caramel drizzle for extra decadence. A drizzle of homemade caramel sauce over the peach topping takes this cheesecake to a whole new level of indulgence.
Experiment with different crusts. Try an Oreo cookie crust for a chocolatey contrast or a shortbread crust for a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth base.
For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese for a reduced-fat option and use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious!
No matter how you choose to make it, this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, fruity, and spiced flavors, it’s a dessert you’ll find yourself making over and over again!
