Ingredient Notes
See full recipe below in recipe card with exact measurements.
- Fresh peaches or frozen peaches will work. I prefer frozen peaches so I don’t have to peel them unless they are very in season, but if using frozen they need to be thawed and room temperature I needed just over 32 oz. frozen peaches to get the 5 cups.
- A 1:1 gluten-free baking flour should sub well for the regular flour in this cream cheese peach cobbler if you need to keep it gluten-free.
Ways To Vary This Recipe
- add more fruit: you can certainly add in some fresh blueberries, blackberries, or another favorite if you prefer.
- spice up the cheesecake or cobbler layer: you can add a touch of cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg to either to add even more flavor.
- give it a pop of citrus: add some lemon zest or lemon juice to the peaches
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×9 inch baking pan with oil. Add the peach layer ingredients into the pan. Toss to combine and set aside.
Step 2: Use a fork to mash the cream cheese a bit to break it down and then whisk it together with the cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Make sure the ingredients are room temperature so the cream cheese mixture is nice and smooth.
Step 3: Spoon the mixture over top of the peaches, gently spreading to cover. It doesn’t have to perfectly cover the peaches. You can also just do little dollops and spread a little to have more separation from the cheesecake and cobbler layers.
Step 4: Finally, combine the cobbler topping layer ingredients and stir to combine until it pulls together somewhat like a dough.
Step 5: Spread the dough over top of the cream cheese layer. You can form little disks and lay them over top or sprinkle big chunks, just try to keep it in as even of a layer as possible. Bake uncovered for about 38-45 minutes or until the peach layer is bubbling and you see nice thick sauce around the edges, the cream cheese and cobbler layers are set and cobbler is golden brown—the center should be set. You can broil for the final two minutes for a extra golden brown crunchy top.
Step 6: Remove from oven and allow to cool, then chill to set for about 1 hour. This can be served warm, but we prefer it room temperature or chilled. The cobbler layer and the cheesecake layer cross into each other but allowing it to chill really sets that cream cheese in the dish and it holds well.
Recipe Tips
Room temperature ingredients are KEY to success in this recipe. When I used peaches that weren’t fully thawed in one test, the cheesecake layer looked very gritty and almost curdled from the cold. Room temperature cream cheese and eggs for the cheesecake layer allow it to blend the smoothest and room temperature peaches keep the texture ideal for this dessert.
Serving this dessert chilled or room temperature is strongly suggested. Allowing the cream cheese layer to set up more improves the texture. It doesn’t have to be chilled for hours, but at least allow it set.
Storage
Store this cheesecake cobbler in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. Allow it to sit out for about 15-20 minutes before serving to make it a bit easier to slice.
You can freeze this dessert for up to 3 months. Make sure it is fully cooled and set before putting in a freezer safe container. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator.
