How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake

Ingredients:

3-4 ripe peaches, sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon flour (for slurry)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup melted butter
2 cups shortbread crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons flour

Directions:

Peach Filling: Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches and stir in the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat. Combine some of the peach syrup with the flour to make a slurry and stir it back into the pot. Cook until thickened, then set it aside to cool.
Crumble Topping: In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly. Chill in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the shortbread crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and then allow it to cool.
Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour until there are no lumps.
Assemble: Pour one-third of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Layer half of the peach filling on top, followed by a little bit of the sauce and some crumble. Add the rest of the cheesecake filling and spread it evenly.
Bake: Bake the cheesecake at 350°F for 1 hour and 5 minutes. After baking, leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly open for 4 hours. Once cooled at room temperature, garnish with the remaining peaches, crumble, and whipped cream, then chill overnight.
