Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) cream cheese
- 4 peaches, fresh or canned
- 3 large eggs
Crust Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) melted butter
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
Baking Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Craft a golden-brown graham cracker foundation by blending crumbs with melted butter and sugar. Press mixture firmly into a springform pan and bake at 325°F for 10 minutes until lightly set.
- Create a silky cheesecake base by thoroughly whipping cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth. Gently incorporate eggs one at a time, then fold in vanilla and sour cream until fully integrated.
- Develop a luscious peach compote by simmering fresh peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and water. Cook until the mixture thickens and reaches a glossy, jam-like consistency, then allow to cool completely.
- Construct a rustic cobbler topping by combining flour, sugar, and baking powder. Drizzle melted butter and mix until the texture becomes delightfully crumbly and uneven.
- Carefully layer the peach compote across the cheesecake’s surface, ensuring even distribution. Generously scatter the cobbler topping over the fruit layer, creating a textured, rustic appearance.
- Bake the assembled dessert at 325°F for 50-60 minutes, watching for a slightly jiggly center that indicates perfect doneness. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours to set fully, allowing flavors to meld and texture to firm. Slice and serve chilled for optimal enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose ripe, juicy peaches for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness in your cobbler cheesecake.
- Toast graham cracker crumbs briefly before mixing with butter to enhance their nutty, caramelized taste and create a more robust crust.
- Prevent cheesecake cracking by using room temperature ingredients and avoiding overmixing the batter, which introduces excess air.
- Adapt the recipe for gluten-free diets by substituting graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs for a similar texture.
