📝 Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 600 g cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Peach Topping:
- 3–4 fresh peaches (sliced) or canned peaches (drained)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined. Make sure the batter is smooth with no lumps.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Place the pan in a water bath and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still a bit jiggly.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool slowly inside with the door slightly open.
4. Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping:
In a saucepan, combine sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the peaches soften and release their juices.
If you prefer a thicker topping, add cornstarch mixed with a little water and cook until the sauce thickens.
5. Assemble the Dessert:
Once the cheesecake has completely cooled, spread the peach topping evenly over the top.
6. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to fully set. Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
💡 Tips for Best Results
