Description
A delightful blend of creamy cheesecake and sweet, juicy peaches with a buttery crust and cobbler topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup peach preserves (for glaze)
- Whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
- Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Toss sliced peaches with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch in a separate bowl until evenly coated.
- Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust. Layer half of the peach mixture on top, followed by the remaining cream cheese mixture and the rest of the peach mixture. Swirl the peach filling into the cream cheese layer.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about 1 hour.
- Warm peach preserves in a small saucepan over low heat until melted. Drizzle over the cooled cheesecake.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Notes
- For gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers.
- For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with a vegan alternative.
- For nut-free, omit pecans or replace with sunflower seeds.
- Use frozen peaches if fresh ones are unavailable, ensuring they are thawed and drained.
