Tips for Making Peach Cheesecake with Cobbler Topping
- Use room temperature ingredients. Let your cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs warm on the counter at least 30 minutes before starting this peach cheesecake recipe.
You’ll get a much smoother batter this way! - Don’t overmix! If you incorporate too much air into the batter, your peach cheesecake will rise too quickly and then fall, resulting in cracks, and you don’t want that in this tender peach dessert!
- Use a water bath. Wrap the bottom and sides of your springform pan with aluminum foil, then set it inside a large roasting pan.
Pour the batter into the springform, then fill the outer pan with enough hot water to reach halfway up the side of the springform.
This process, called a bain-marie, will keep the peach cobbler cheesecake from cracking while it bakes. - Cool properly. Once the cake is baked, turn the oven off and crack the door, holding it open with the handle of a wooden spoon.
Let it sit this way for about an hour.
Then, remove your peach cobbler cheesecake and let it come to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator to set.
This way, you can slice individual slices of cheesecake and they shouldn’t fall apart or crack.
Flavor Variations
If peaches aren’t your favorite, there are plenty of other fruits that would be tasty with cobbler topping!
Swap in fresh cherries or your favorite fall apples, or replace the fruit topping with berry pie filling.
You could also make this peach cobbler cheesecake recipe with a shortbread crust! Replace the graham crackers with shortbread cookies instead. Happy baking – you have so many options!

Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Recipe FAQ
Typically, you would give the pan a gentle shake to ensure the edges are set and the center of the cheesecake jiggles just slightly.
Unfortunately, that’s nearly impossible with cobbler topping! Instead, look for a golden brown crust on top and no wiggle inside the pan.
The peach mixture should thicken plenty when simmered long enough. If needed, you can add a little more flour — just be sure to cook it a bit longer.
You can also reserve any excess liquid, thicken it with a cornstarch slurry, and drizzle it over the peach cobbler cheesecake before serving!
Enjoy!

Cobbler Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Instructions
Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, with rack in lower third of oven. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, and grease the entire inside of the pan. Set aside.
- Pulse the graham crackers and a pinch of salt in a food processor until finely ground. Stir in the melted butter.
- Press the crumbs into an even layer in the prepared pan using your fingers and the flat bottom of a glass. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
- Double wrap the bottom and sides of the springform pan with large squares of aluminum foil, gently folding the sides of the foil up around the pan.
- Place the cream cheese into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape the side of the bowl. Add the sugar, flour, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and vanilla and beat until well combined, about 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Scrape the side of the bowl. Add the sour cream, beat until just blended.
- Scrape the cheesecake batter into the pan, over the crust. Smooth the top into an even layer.
- Place the springform pan into a roasting pan, then place the pan into the oven. Pour hot water into the roasting pan, until it reaches halfway up the springform pan.
- Bake at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 225 degrees F. Bake for 25 minutes, then carefully remove the pan from the oven. Carefully spread the peach topping in an even layer on top of the cheesecake, then dollop the cobbler in lumps on top of the peaches. Return to oven and bake an additional 25-35 minutes until the cheesecake is set and the cobbler topping is golden brown.
- When the cheesecake is baked, turn off the oven and crack open the door. Prop it open with the handle of a wooden spoon. Allow the cheesecake to cool for at least an hour like this, then remove it to a cooling rack to cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator 6-24 hours before serving.
Peach Topping
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add the peaches, sugars, flour, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and allow to cook 5-10 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Cobbler Topping
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt until combined. Grate the butter into the dry ingredients and cut it in using your fingers or a pastry cutter until pea-sized balls are formed. Stir in water until just combined.
