A Brief Overview of This Recipe

These Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars start with a classic graham cracker crust, providing a sturdy and slightly sweet base. Then comes the star of the show: the cheesecake filling. It’s rich, creamy, and infused with the warm flavors of vanilla and a hint of lemon. But wait, there’s more!

Ingredients You Will Need

Before we dive into the instructions, let’s gather our ingredients. Don’t worry, most of them are pantry staples, and the fresh peaches can easily be substituted with canned or frozen if needed. This recipe will yield about 16 Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars.

For the Peach Cobbler Filling:

• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now, let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be enjoying your own batch of Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars in no time. Don’t be intimidated; this recipe is easier than it looks. I promise!

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Make the Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even crust.
3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

4. Make the Peach Cobbler Filling: While the crust is baking and cooling, prepare the peach cobbler filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the peaches are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Assemble the Bars: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled graham cracker crust. Dollop spoonfuls of the peach cobbler filling over the cheesecake layer. Pour the remaining cheesecake filling over the peach filling. Gently swirl the fillings together with a knife or skewer.

7. Make the Crumble Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Sprinkle the Topping: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.
9. Bake the Bars: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, tent the pan with foil.

10. Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and let the bars cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Then, cover the pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before cutting into bars. This will allow the cheesecake to fully set and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
11. Cut and Serve: Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve. These Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars are delicious on their own, or you can dress them up with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips and Tricks for Perfect Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars

Want to make sure your Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars are a smashing success? Here are a few of my tried-and-true tips and tricks:

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This is especially important for the cream cheese and eggs. Room temperature ingredients blend together more smoothly, resulting in a creamier cheesecake.
• Don’t Overmix the Cheesecake Filling: Overmixing can incorporate too much air into the batter, which can cause the cheesecake to puff up and then deflate, leading to cracks. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
• Cool Slowly: As mentioned earlier, cooling the cheesecake slowly in the oven helps prevent cracking. The gradual temperature change allows the cheesecake to set evenly.
• Chill Thoroughly: Resist the urge to cut into the bars before they’ve had a chance to chill completely. Chilling firms up the cheesecake and allows the flavors to develop fully.
• Get Creative with Toppings: While the crumble topping is delicious, feel free to get creative with other toppings. A sprinkle of chopped pecans or a drizzle of caramel sauce would be fantastic additions.

Can I use frozen peaches for the peach cobbler filling?

Yes, you can absolutely use frozen peaches! Just make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before using them in the filling. This will prevent the filling from being too watery. No one will know the difference and your Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars will be a success.

How do I prevent the cheesecake from cracking?

Cracking can be frustrating, but there are a few things you can do to minimize the risk. First, don’t overmix the cheesecake filling. Second, cool the cheesecake slowly in the oven with the door slightly ajar. Finally, avoid drastic temperature changes. A water bath in the oven can help prevent cracking too by adding moisture. Follow these and your Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars will be perfect.

Can I make these bars ahead of time?

Yes, these Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars are actually better when made ahead of time! The flavors meld together beautifully as they chill in the refrigerator. You can make them up to 2 days in advance and store them covered in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze these cheesecake bars?

Yes, you can freeze them! Cut the Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Bars into individual squares, wrap each square tightly in plastic wrap, and then place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.

What can I substitute for the graham cracker crust?

If you’re not a fan of graham crackers, you can use other types of cookies for the crust. Vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, or even gingersnaps would all be delicious options. Just adjust the amount of butter and sugar accordingly. Or you can skip the cookie crust and make a butter or shortbread crust instead.
