Cheesecake Layer
- 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Peach Filling
- 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice fresh peaches, then toss them with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Set aside to macerate while preparing the cheesecake filling, allowing the peaches to become juicy and flavorful.
- Make the Streusel Topping: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/3 cup softened butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend ingredients into coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Create the Cheesecake Layer: Beat 24 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Assemble the Cobbler Cheesecake: Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Gently layer the macerated peaches evenly at the bottom. Pour the cheesecake batter over the peaches. Finally, sprinkle the streusel topping evenly on top.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake cheesecake for 50 to 60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter without lumps.
- Mix just until combined to avoid air bubbles and prevent cracking.
- Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
- Chill the cheesecake overnight for clean slicing and enhanced flavor melding.
- Consider baking with a water bath or a pan of water underneath to prevent cracks.
