When I think of summer desserts that wow a crowd, Peach Cobbler Cheesecake is the one that always makes an appearance. It’s the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and creamy, with just the right touch of Southern comfort.
The smooth, rich cheesecake layers contrast beautifully with the warm, spiced peach topping—each bite feels like a bite of pure indulgence.
I love making this for family gatherings or just a cozy night in. The peaches, whether fresh or canned, bring a burst of fruity goodness that balances the creamy cheesecake filling, and the crumble topping adds that comforting cobbler touch.
It’s a showstopper that’s easy enough for a weeknight yet impressive enough for a holiday table. Whether you’re in the mood for peaches or fresh berries, both desserts are the perfect way to celebrate summer.
The combination of these textures and flavors makes it irresistible, and I’m always surprised by how quickly it disappears.

Tips to Bring Perfection to Your Dish!
1. Use Ripe but Firm Peaches
- Choose ripe peaches for natural sweetness, but make sure they’re not overly soft to hold their shape after roasting.
2. Roast Peaches for Enhanced Flavor
- Roasting caramelizes the sugars, intensifying the peachy flavor. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes before layering them onto the cheesecake.
3. Pack the Graham Cracker Crust Firmly
- Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to firmly press down the crust to prevent crumbling when slicing.
4. Don’t Overmix the Cheesecake Batter
- Overmixing incorporates excess air, leading to cracks when baking. Beat just until smooth and creamy.
5. Bring Ingredients to Room Temperature
- Cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream should be at room temperature for a lump-free, velvety texture.
6. Bake in a Water Bath for Even Cooking
- Wrap the pan in foil and place it in a hot water bath to ensure gentle, even baking and prevent cracks.
7. Avoid Overbaking
- The cheesecake should be slightly jiggly in the center when removed from the oven—overbaking results in a dry texture.
8. Let It Cool Gradually
- Cool the cheesecake inside the oven with the door slightly open for about an hour before transferring it to the fridge. This prevents drastic temperature changes that cause cracking.
9. Chill for at Least 4 Hours (Overnight is Best!)
- A well-chilled cheesecake sets properly and enhances flavors. Overnight chilling gives the best results.
10. Add Streusel Right Before Serving for Crunch
- To keep the cinnamon streusel crisp, sprinkle it on top just before serving so it doesn’t absorb moisture from the cheesecake.
