This indulgent Peach Cobbler Cheesecake blends the best of two beloved desserts: the creamy richness of cheesecake and the comforting sweetness of peach cobbler. It features layers of roasted cinnamon-sugar peaches and crumble tucked into a classic graham cracker crust, all baked into a thick, smooth cheesecake. A final flourish of freshly roasted peaches and crumble on top transforms it into a show-stopping summer dessert perfect for gatherings or special occasions
Crumble
¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
⅓ cup (70 g) light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
5 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
Peaches
6 slightly underripe peaches, thickly sliced
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Graham-Cracker Crust
2 cups (≈280 g) graham-cracker crumbs
⅓ cup (70 g) granulated sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
½ cup (110 g) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Batter
4 (8 oz) blocks full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
1¼ cups (255 g) granulated sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
3 large eggs + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or 1 Tbsp vanilla extract)
1 cup (250 g) sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
Make the crumble
Microwave the flour for ~90 seconds, then chill in the freezer for 15 minutes. Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter until mixture resembles wet sand. Refrigerate
Roast the peaches
Preheat oven to 425 °F. Toss peach slices with melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Arrange in a single layer, let excess drip off, and roast for ~15 minutes until caramelized and juicy. Reserve half for baking into the cheesecake and the rest for topping
Prepare crust
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Mix graham crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter. Press into a lightly greased 9″ springform pan, up the sides. Bake 10 minutes, then cool .
Make cheese layer
Reduce oven to 325 °F and prepare a water bath. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and cornstarch on low until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Stir in vanilla and sour cream .
Assemble cheesecake
Spread half the batter over cooled crust. Arrange roasted peaches evenly on top, then sprinkle ~¾ of the crumble. Pour remaining batter over. Gently tap pan to release air
Bake with water bath
Place cheesecake in the center rack of the 325 °F oven over a roasting pan filled with boiling water. Bake ~1 hr 15 min until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Crack oven door, then let cool inside for ~1 hr
Cool fully
Remove and let rest at room temperature 30 min, then refrigerate uncovered at least 4 hrs or overnight .
Finish & serve
Just before serving, top with reserved roasted peaches and remaining crumble. Slice with a sharp knife, wiping between cuts
