Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 peach, chopped
- 16 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 oz Cool Whip
- 2–3 peaches, sliced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon spiced or dark rum (optional)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon juice left over from cooking peaches
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Whisk in the brown sugar until combined.
- Add the vanilla, egg, and egg white, whisking until fully mixed.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped peach.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 34-36 minutes. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Beat the cream cheese and both sugars together until smooth. Mix in about 3/4 cup of caramel sauce and cinnamon until well combined. Gently fold in the Cool Whip.
- Place the cooled blondie back into the springform pan and spread the cheesecake mixture evenly on top. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours to firm up.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, lemon juice, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Toss to coat, add the butter and optional rum, and cook over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until soft. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on high speed until thick. Add the powdered sugar and reserved peach juice, whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe the whipped cream around the edges of the cheesecake. Place the cooled peaches in the center, drizzling with additional caramel sauce if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing. Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. You can make the blondie base a day ahead and refrigerate it before adding toppings.
