Substitutions & Variations :


No sour cream? Swap it with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist. You can use canned, fresh, or even frozen peaches depending on the season—just adjust the sugar if your peaches are extra sweet.

  1. Preheat and prep: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
  2. Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Press firmly into the pan’s bottom. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
  3. Mix the filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, then eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla and sour cream until creamy and lump-free.
  4. Pour & bake: Pour filling over the cooled crust. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles. Bake for 50–55 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool & chill: Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Prepare peach topping: In a saucepan, cook peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch until thick and syrupy. Let it cool.
  7. Make crumble: Mix flour, sugar, cold butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until golden.
  8. Assemble: Once cheesecake is chilled, spoon peach topping over it and sprinkle with baked crumble before serving.

Pro Tips for Success with Peach Cobbler Cheesecake


Use full-fat cream cheese and room-temperature ingredients for a silky filling. Don’t overmix the batter, or the cheesecake can crack. Place a pan of hot water in the oven (or use a water bath) to create steam and prevent cracking. Chill the cheesecake fully for best texture—overnight is ideal. If your topping thickens too much when cooled, warm slightly before spooning it on. Always slice with a hot, clean knife for perfect servings. For best results, assemble the peach cobbler topping just before serving so the crumble stays crisp.

Storage & Reheating Tips for Peach Cobbler Cheesecake


This Peach Cobbler Cheesecake keeps beautifully in the fridge. Store leftovers tightly wrapped or in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap the cheesecake without the topping in plastic wrap and foil. It will last up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. For serving, add the peach cobbler topping fresh after thawing for the best texture. Avoid microwaving individual slices—cheesecake is best enjoyed cold or at room temperature. Want warm peaches? Gently reheat just the topping and spoon it on before serving.

Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is a showstopper on its own, but it pairs beautifully with simple sides. Serve it with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for extra indulgence. A drizzle of caramel or a few fresh mint leaves can elevate the presentation. If you’re hosting a summer get-together, pair this cheesecake with iced tea, peach lemonade, or even sparkling wine for a refreshing contrast. For a cozy fall vibe, enjoy it with a cinnamon latte or chai. This dessert easily transitions between seasons and always impresses.

FAQs about Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

Absolutely! Just be sure they’re ripe and sliced thin. If they’re extra juicy, reduce the sugar slightly and add an extra pinch of cornstarch to thicken the topping.

What’s the best pan to use?

A 9-inch springform pan is best for a classic round cheesecake. If you don’t have one, a deep pie dish or a square baking dish works too—just adjust baking time.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! It’s actually better made ahead. The cheesecake needs to chill for several hours, so prep the night before and top it just before serving.

How do I prevent my cheesecake from cracking?

Avoid overmixing, bake low and slow, and cool gradually. Adding a water pan in the oven helps with even cooking and moisture.
