Vanilla extract
Heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks

For the peach cobbler topping

directions

In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly coated. Press into the bottoms of small jars, ramekins, or dessert cups to form a crust layer.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crust layer in each cup.
In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the diced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter until the peaches are soft and the mixture is syrupy (about 5–7 minutes). For a thicker topping, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1–2 more minutes. Let cool slightly.
Spoon the cooled peach cobbler mixture over the cheesecake filling in each cup.
Top with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs or brown sugar.
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.

FAQs

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes, just be sure to drain them well before dicing and cooking for the topping.

Is this dessert very sweet?

The sweetness is balanced by the tanginess of the cream cheese and the fruit. You can reduce the sugar slightly if desired.

Can I make these in advance?

Yes, prepare up to a day ahead. Add whipped cream and garnishes just before serving for best texture.

Do I need to cook the peaches?

Cooking enhances the flavor and mimics peach cobbler, but you can skip cooking for a fresher, raw fruit version.

Can I use store-bought whipped cream?

Yes, though homemade whipped cream offers a fresher flavor and better texture.

How do I thicken the peach topping?

Use a cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water) to thicken if the peaches release too much liquid.

What kind of cream cheese works best?

Full-fat brick cream cheese gives the best texture and flavor for the filling.

Can I freeze the cheesecake cups?

Freezing is not recommended, as the texture of the cream and fruit may change after thawing.

Can I make this in a pie dish instead of cups?

Yes, layer the ingredients in a 9-inch pie dish and serve in slices instead of individual portions.

What size cups should I use?

Small dessert jars or 4–6 oz cups are ideal for individual servings.
