Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
