Ingredients
✔ For the Graham Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
✔ For the Cheesecake Filling
- 450 g cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
✔ For the Peach Cobbler Topping
- 1 large can sliced peaches in syrup (or 3 cups fresh peaches)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
✔ Crumble Topping
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup oats (optional)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup melted butter
- Pinch of salt
🥣 Preparing the Peach Topping
In a medium saucepan, add peaches with their syrup (or fresh peaches + ¼ cup water). Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter.
Simmer over medium heat until peaches soften and syrup thickens slightly.
Add cornstarch slurry and stir — the mixture will thicken into a glossy cobbler-style sauce. Turn off heat and let cool completely.
This step brings that home-baked cobbler taste into every single bite.
🍪 Making the Crumble
In a bowl, mix flour, oats (if using), brown sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt.
Stir until coarse crumbs form — don’t overmix, the clumps are perfect.
Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Cool completely so it stays crisp.
🍯 Building the Graham Crust
Combine graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
Stir until the texture resembles wet sand — it should hold when pinched.
Press mixture firmly into cupcake liners, silicone cups, or a mini tart pan.
Use the bottom of a glass or spoon to pack it tight.
Chill in the fridge while making the filling.
A firm crust makes every bite satisfying.
🍰 Making the Cheesecake Filling
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
Fold gently into the cream cheese mixture — do not deflate it.
This creates a silky, airy texture instead of a dense cheesecake.
Spread or pipe the filling onto the chilled crust cups.
Pop them back into the fridge while you finish toppings.
🧁 Assembling the Peach Cobbler Cups
Spoon a generous amount of peach topping onto each cheesecake cup.
You want every bite to have syrup and fruit.
Sprinkle crumble over the top — the more texture, the better!
Return to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
😍 Serving & Styling
Serve chilled or slightly cool.
Top with:
- A drizzle of peach syrup
- A dollop of whipped cream
- Extra crumble
- Fresh mint for color
They look fancy without effort!
