Ingredients

  • 1 box gluten-free yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
  • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 3/4 cup sugar (or Splenda)
  • 1 bag frozen VIP peaches (or 3 fresh peaches, diced)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free yellow cake mix and chilled butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well. Reserve about 1/2 cup of this mixture for later. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until it sets. Note that the crust may rise slightly while baking but will settle once removed from the oven.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 3 teaspoons of cream of tartar, and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the 3 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully combined. Pour this creamy cheesecake batter over the partially baked crust in the springform pan.

3. Prepare the Peach Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Evenly distribute this peach mixture over the cheesecake batter in the springform pan.

4. Add the Crumb Topping and Bake

Sprinkle the reserved crust and butter mixture evenly over the top of the peach layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Once baking time is complete, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour. This helps to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.

5. Chill and Serve

After the hour of resting time in the oven, remove the cheesecake and let it cool to room temperature. Chill the entire cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set perfectly.

Notes

Serving Tips

  1. Garnish with Fresh Peaches: For a fresh touch, garnish the cheesecake with thin slices of fresh peach just before serving. This adds a burst of color and a hint of extra peach flavor.
  2. Add a Dollop of Whipped Cream: Top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream to complement the creamy texture of the cheesecake. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
  3. Serve with a Drizzle of Caramel Sauce: Enhance the flavor with a drizzle of caramel sauce over the top. The caramel pairs wonderfully with both the peach and cheesecake flavors.
  4. Use a Warm Knife for Slicing: To achieve clean slices, run your knife under hot water, wipe it dry, and then slice the cheesecake. This helps prevent the cheesecake from sticking to the knife.
  5. Pair with a Refreshing Beverage: Serve the cheesecake with a chilled glass of sweet tea, iced coffee, or a light dessert wine to enhance the dessert experience.

Storage Tips

  1. Refrigeration: Store the Peach Cobbler Cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days. Make sure it is well covered to prevent it from absorbing other odors in the fridge.
  2. Freezing: If you need to store the cheesecake for a longer period, you can freeze it. Wrap the cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
  3. Individual Slices: For convenience, slice the cheesecake before freezing. Wrap each slice individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. This allows you to enjoy a slice whenever you like without thawing the entire cake.
  4. Avoid Excess Moisture: When storing the cheesecake, ensure that it is kept in a dry environment. Excess moisture can affect the texture and quality of the cheesecake.
  5. Reheat if Desired: If you prefer your cheesecake slightly warmed, you can microwave individual slices for about 10-15 seconds. Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the cheesecake to become too soft.
