How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Crust

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

Cheesecake Filling

3. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until well combined.
4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Cobbler Crust Topping

6. Make the Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.
7. Assemble the Cobbler: Spread the cooled peach mixture over the chilled cheesecake. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the peaches.
8. Bake the Cobbler: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Let cool before serving.

Tips

• Chill Time: Make sure to chill the cheesecake thoroughly before adding the cobbler topping.
• Peaches: Fresh peaches work best, but canned peaches can be used in a pinch.
• Crust: For a different twist, try using gingersnap cookies instead of graham crackers for the crust.
