Ingredients

The ingredients in this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake are classic. The cheesecake base is made up of all of the traditional ingredients but where it gets really good is the fresh peaches! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements.

Streusel

• Flour: Essential for the streusel topping, providing a light and crumbly texture.
• Brown Sugar: Adds rich caramel sweetness to the streusel, complementing the cheesecake and peaches.
• Salt: Balances flavors in the streusel.
• Unsalted Butter: This binds streusel ingredients with a buttery touch.

Roasted Peaches

• Peaches: Fresh and perfectly ripe peaches, ready to be roasted for a sweet and juicy addition to the cheesecake.
• Brown Sugar: Sweetens and caramelizes the roasted peaches, enhancing their natural flavors.
• Cinnamon: Adds a warm, aromatic spice to the roasted peaches, complementing their sweetness.
• Nutmeg: Provides a subtle, nutty flavor to the roasted peaches, adding depth to the overall taste of the dessert.

Crust

• Graham Cracker Crumbs: Finely crushed graham crackers form the base of the crust, making the perfect crust for the sweet filling.
• Brown Sugar: Adds a rich, caramel-like sweetness to the crust, complementing the creamy cheesecake filling.
• Salt: Balances the sweetness of the crust, enhancing its overall flavor.
• Unsalted Butter: The melted butter binds the graham cracker crumbs together, creating a delicious crust.

Cheesecake

• Cream Cheese: This provides a creamy and tangy element to the cheesecake filling, making it rich and smooth.
• Sour Cream: This enhances the creaminess of the cheesecake filling, adding a slight tanginess and velvety consistency.
• Brown Sugar: The brown sugar sweetens the cheesecake filling with a mellow caramel flavor, balancing the creaminess and tanginess.
• Eggs: These bring the cheesecake filling together.
• Vanilla Bean Paste: You can use vanilla extract instead if that’s what you have on hand.

How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

These instructions are long, but only because I wanted to be thorough in making sure that you had every question answered and felt confident making this cheesecake on your own!

Streusel

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Whisk: Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until most of the dry ingredients are moistened but some flour mixture remains.
3. Bake: Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely.

Peaches

1. Garnish: Slice the peaches into 8-12 slices. Lay on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. Cook: Roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-10 minutes, until soft but still holds its shape. Let cool completely.
3. Slice: You may slice half of the cooled peaches into bite-size pieces for the center of the cheesecake, or you may leave them whole.
4. Reserve Syrup: When ready to serve the cheesecake, reserve the remaining syrup from the peaches for drizzle.

Crust

1. Prep Pan: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 10-inch springform pan by spraying lightly with cooking spray and wrapping it with four layers of heavy-duty 18-inch aluminum foil. Be sure the foil goes all the way up the sides for each layer, to prevent water from seeping into the crust.
2. Make Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter together. This should resemble damp sand.
3. Press Crust: Pour the crumb mixture into the prepared springform pan and press evenly into the pan. You can use the bottom of a flat glass or a flat measuring cup to really press it in well and get a nice, even crust.
4. Bake: Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Keep the oven on, as the peach cobbler cheesecake will bake at the same temperature.

Cheesecake

1. Beat Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer and beat with a paddle at medium/high speed for about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat for a few seconds more.
2. Combine: Add the brown sugar and sour cream and mix at medium/low speed until just combined. Scrape the bowl again and mix for 30 seconds.
3. Add Eggs and Mix: Add the eggs one at a time and beat on low speed until combined about 30 seconds-1 minute. Scrape the bowl again. Add the vanilla paste or vanilla extract and mix just until fully combined. 

Bake The Cheesecake

1. Prep Pan: Place the wrapped pan in a deep roasting pan. Alternatively, you can use a baking sheet as long as the sides are about 2 inches deep.
2. Add Batter: Add half of the peach cobbler cheesecake batter to the pan. Carefully spread half of the cooled, roasted peaches over the filling and then top with half of the cooled streusel. Gently top with the remaining cheesecake batter, using a spatula to smooth out the top.
3. Create a Bath: Carefully add boiling water to the baking sheet until there are about 1 ½ inches of water around the springform pan. Carefully move your pan to a rack in the oven that is positioned in the lower third of the oven.
4. Bake: Bake for 1-1 ½ hours. After about an hour of baking, check the cheesecake’s consistency. A slight jiggle of the pan (while still in the oven) should tell you if it’s ready or needs more time. The cheesecake should be jiggly, but not liquid. If it seems very liquidy still, give it 15 more minutes and recheck it.
5. Let Cool IN OVEN: Once the cheesecake is fairly firm but still has a slight wobble, turn the oven off but leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour or so until the oven has cooled down. Resist the temptation to open the oven during this time! The purpose of this step is to allow the cheesecake to cool slowly as the oven cools. Doing this will prevent it from cracking, as one of the biggest reasons cheesecakes crack is the drastic temperature change going from the hot oven into the much cooler kitchen.
6. Remove from foil: Once the oven and the cheesecake are fully cooled, remove the cheesecake from the oven and carefully remove the foil lining the pan.
7. Chill: Chill in the fridge for 4-6 hours, or overnight before serving. Right before serving top the peach cobbler cheesecake with the remaining roasted peaches and streusel. Drizzle with the reserved peach syrup, if desired.
