Ingredients Notes

The magic of this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake lies in the balance of flavors and textures, and each ingredient plays a crucial role in making that happen.
The graham cracker crust provides the perfect foundation. A mixture of crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and a touch of sugar creates a crisp, slightly sweet base that holds everything together.
For the cheesecake filling, I use cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream to achieve a smooth, rich texture. A splash of vanilla extract enhances the flavor, while eggs help bind everything into a luscious, creamy consistency.
The peach cobbler topping is the real star. Fresh or canned peaches work beautifully, cooked with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to bring out their natural sweetness. A touch of cornstarch helps thicken the mixture, ensuring it doesn’t make the cheesecake soggy.
To finish, the crumble topping adds the perfect crunch. A mix of flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter creates golden, buttery crumbles that contrast wonderfully with the creamy filling and juicy peaches.
You'll also need a springform pan to ensure easy removal and the classic cheesecake shape. A water bath is recommended to prevent cracks in the cheesecake, but I’ll guide you through that step below.
How To Make This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Making this cheesecake may seem like a multi-step process, but each step is simple, and the result is well worth it!
Start by preparing the crust. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake it for about 10 minutes to set, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Next, make the cheesecake batter. Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth, then add the eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract, making sure not to overmix. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth out the top.
For the peach topping, cook the peaches in a saucepan with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until they soften and release their juices. Add cornstarch to thicken the mixture, then let it cool slightly before spooning it over the cheesecake batter.
Prepare the crumble topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this generously over the peaches, ensuring an even layer.
Bake the cheesecake in a water bath at 325°F for about 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for an hour to prevent cracking.
Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours (overnight is best) before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Storage Options
This cheesecake stores beautifully, making it ideal for leftovers—if you have any!
To refrigerate, cover the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
For freezing, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Cheesecake can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
To reheat (if you prefer warm cobbler-style topping), place a slice in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, but be careful not to overheat, as cheesecake is best served slightly chilled.
Variations and Substitutions
One of the best things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. Here are some fun ways to make it your own:
- Use different fruits. Swap out peaches for apples, berries, or even pears for a seasonal twist.
- Make it gluten-free. Use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust and a gluten-free flour blend for the crumble.
- Try a flavored crust. Instead of graham crackers, use crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies for a different flavor profile.
- Spice it up. Add a dash of cardamom or ginger to the cobbler topping for extra warmth and complexity.
- Go dairy-free. Use dairy-free cream cheese and sour cream substitutes, along with a vegan butter alternative for the crumble.
Feel free to experiment and find the version that speaks to you. No matter how you make it, this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
Whether you're making this for a special occasion or just because, this Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is the ultimate fusion of two beloved desserts. Creamy, crunchy, sweet, and spiced—every bite is pure heaven. Give it a try, and get ready for rave reviews!
