Review RecipePeach Cobbler Cheesecake

Table of Contents
This divine peach cobbler cheesecake might just be the most perfect dessert ever! It is a cross between a summery peach cobbler filled with juicy peaches and a rich and creamy cheesecake, meaning there is no need to choose between two different dessert options.

Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Ingredients

You’ll need:
For the Graham Cracker Crust
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake
- 3 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream, room temperature
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
For the Peach Filling
- ¼ cup salted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 6 cups sliced fresh peaches (you can substitute frozen peaches – see substitution note)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For the Cobbler
- 1 package yellow cake mix
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Substitutions and Additions
COBBLER TOPPING: We used cake mix to make a quick and super tasty cobbler topping but if you have another preferred cobbler topping, you can substitute it instead.
SPICES: We added cinnamon for some warmth and complementary spice. Nutmeg and allspice would also make excellent additions.
PEACHES: If substituting frozen peaches, they can be added to the saucepan frozen. If needed, adjust the amount of cornstarch needed to thicken the sauce. Add about a tablespoon at a time and simmer 1 to 2 minutes to determine if the sauce has thickened or if more cornstarch is needed.
How to Make This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Recipe
Cheesecake Layer
STEP ONE: Grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
STEP TWO: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
STEP THREE: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ⅓ cup granulated sugar until thoroughly combined.
STEP FOUR: Press graham cracker mixture into the springform pan, forming an even layer across the bottom and partially up the sides of the pan.

STEP FIVE: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy.
STEP SIX: Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and continue beating for 1 to 2 minutes.
STEP SEVEN: Add flour, vanilla, sour cream, and whipping cream. Mix until combined.

STEP EIGHT: Add one egg at a time and stir gently by hand to prevent extra air from getting into the mixture.

STEP NINE: Pour ½ of the cheesecake batter into the prepared graham cracker crust and spread the top smooth.

STEP TEN: Wrap the springform pan in two layers of aluminum foil (to prevent water from getting in) and place the pan into a larger vessel that can hold water at least 1 inch up the sides of the springform pan.
STEP ELEVEN: Fill with water to create a water bath for the cheesecake and bake cheesecake for 15 minutes until the top is set (cheesecake will be jiggly).
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
The hot water bath helps the cheesecake cook into a nice smooth and creamy cheesecake.
Peaches Layer
STEP ONE: While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the peaches. Peel and slice fresh peaches until you have about 6 cups of slices.
STEP TWO: Heat 4 tablespoons butter, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar in a large saucepan or skillet. Add the sliced peaches and toss to coat with the sugar mixture. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook approximately 8 to 10 minutes until the peaches are soft.

STEP THREE: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with some of the peach juice from the pan.
Add the mixture back into the peaches, stirring constantly, and simmering the peaches until the juice forms a thick syrup/sauce. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
STEP FOUR: When the cheesecake layer comes out of the oven, top with ⅓ of the peaches, arranging them in a single layer over the cooked cheesecake.
Top with the remaining cheesecake filling. Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for another 45 minutes.

Cobbler Topping Layer
STEP ONE: Meanwhile, prepare the cobbler topping. Mix together the dry cake mix, softened butter, and cinnamon until the mixture forms small crumbles.
Drizzle in the heavy cream while continuing to mix so that the mixture forms larger clumps.

STEP TWO: Remove the cooked cheesecake from the oven once more. Top with another layer of the peaches and then mound the cobbler topping over the top of the peaches.

STEP THREE: Bake for a final 15 minutes until the topping turns golden brown.
STEP FOUR: Turn off the oven, cracking the oven door for 60 minutes. Cool completely, and then chill in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
STEP FIVE: Top with remaining peach slices and sauce and serve!

PRO TIP:
This cheesecake can be tricky to cut because of all of the layers. I’d recommend cutting it into slices while it is still in the springform pan to help keep the layers in place.
Using a serrated knife in a gentle back and forth motion also makes it easier to cut through the cobbler topping without smashing the cheesecake layers.
How To Serve
Peach cheesecake cobbler is a delicious dessert that is decadent enough on its own. If you want to go even further over-the-top, add a scoop of our no-churn vanilla ice cream or homemade Cool Whip on the side of the plate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Using a water bath will give you a moist, perfectly baked cheesecake. The water creates a moist cooking environment for the dairy and eggs to produce the creamy cheesecake texture.
Place the wrapped springform pan in a large roasting pan, fill the pan with 1 inch of water, and place in the oven. You don’t want any higher than 1-inch, or you risk water getting into the cheesecake.
To prevent the cheesecake water bath from leaking, either wrap the pan in two layers of aluminum foil or place the springform pan in an oven-safe turkey bag or slow cooker liner bag and roll down the top of the bag. Place the wrapped pan inside the roasting pan and fill it with water.
It is best to make this a day in advance. Since there are so many steps required including baking and chilling for several hours in the fridge, it is best to make this ahead of time.

Notes
- This cheesecake requires a number of steps, but it is totally worth it. You could simplify the recipe by baking the full cheesecake recipe, then top with ⅔ of the peaches and cobbler mixture and finish it off that way. This skips the multiple layers.
- The hot water bath helps the cheesecake cook into a nice smooth and creamy cheesecake.
- This cheesecake can be tricky to cut because of all of the layers. I’d recommend cutting it into slices while it is still in the springform pan to help keep the layers in place. Using a serrated knife in a gentle back and forth motion also makes it easier to cut through the cobbler topping without smashing the cheesecake layers.
Comments
Sarah says
This is so decadent and delicious – perfect dessert!
Angela Somerville says
It said to see the side note for substituting frozen peaches but I did not see one.
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Angela – if substituting frozen peaches, they can be added to the saucepan frozen. If needed, adjust the amount of cornstarch needed to thicken the sauce. Add about a tablespoon at a time and simmer 1 to 2 minutes to determine if the sauce has thickened or if more cornstarch is needed. Enjoy!
Ashley says
Instead of Frozen or fresh can I use like two cans of sliced peaches, drained?
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Ashley- we haven’t tested it with canned peaches, it may be too liquidy and not turn out quite right.
Jenny Lemley says
Would be able to use peaches from a can instead of fresh or frozen peaches?
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Jenny – we haven’t tested this with peaches from a can so I am not sure if any adjustments would need to be made for the consistency to be correct! Please let me know if you try it. Enjoy!
Margo says
Hi! I would love to make this but I don’t have a springform pan. What other kind of pan can I use. Thanks for any help.
