How to prepare Peach Cobbler Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 1 + 1⁄2 cups graham cracker (or petibor) biscuit crumbs 🍪
- 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar 🍚
- 6 tablespoons melted butter 🧈
- 600 g cream cheese (at room temperature) 🧀
- 1 cup granulated sugar 🍚
- 3 eggs (at room temperature) 🥚
- 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream) 🥛
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch 🌾
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
- 3 large peaches (diced) 🍑
- 1⁄4 cup brown or white sugar 🍂
- 1 tablespoon butter 🧈
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon 🌰
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice 🍋
- 1⁄2 cup flour 🌾
- 1⁄4 cup sugar 🍚
- 3 tablespoons cold butter 🧊
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🔥
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool. 🍪⏳
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, mixing well. 🧀🍚
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the heavy cream, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is smooth and creamy. 🥚🥛
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an hour. This helps prevent cracks. 🕒
- Meanwhile, in another pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add diced peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cook on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes until the peaches soften. 🍑🥄
- Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving. Once chilled, top it with the spiced peaches. 🎂🥕
