How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cups
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 3 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
-
Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of small dessert cups or jars. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the other layers.
-
Make the Cheesecake Layer: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream gently until fully incorporated. Set aside in the refrigerator.
-
Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Cook until the peaches release their juices and become tender (about 5 minutes). Add the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Let it cool completely.
-
Make the Crumb Topping: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.
-
Assemble the Cups: Spoon or pipe a layer of the cheesecake mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust. Add a layer of the peach cobbler topping. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the peaches. Repeat the layers if your cup size allows, ending with more peaches and crumb topping.
-
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cups for at least 2 hours to set. Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, fruity, and crumbly delight! Perfect for individual servings at parties or gatherings!
