INGREDIENT NOTES

These are some of the key ingredients for this recipe. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.

• Digestive biscuits: We don't have graham crackers in Danmark, so I therefore use Digestive cookies. But if you can buy graham cracker crumbs then you can definitely use those instead if you want to make graham cracker crust.
• Cream cheese: It's important that it's full-fat cream cheese and it's at room temperature when using it. Take the cream cheese out of the fridge 1-2 hours before baking.
• Sour cream: Measure and let the sour cream come to room temperature 1-2 hours before baking.
• Eggs: Take the eggs out of the fridge 1-2 hours before baking.
• Peaches: For this recipe I recommend using fresh slightly under ripe peaches, so they don't get too mushy once baked.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS - PEACHES AND CRUMBLE

Here is how to make and bake these Peach Crumble Cheesecake. This recipe needs a stand mixer or an hand electric mixer, and a 23 cm/9 in spring pan lined with baking paper.

The full recipe is down below in the recipe card.

Preheat the oven to 205ºC/ 400ºF conventional oven. Prepare a baking sheet with baking paper.

STEP 1: Slice the peaches into wedges. Add the peaches, granulated sugar and cinnamon to the baking sheet and toss them together so it all evenly coated. 

STEP 2: Spread the peaches out in an even layer, and bake the peaches for 15 minutes or until they are fork tender. Let them cool down on the baking sheet while preparing the rest of the crumble and cheesecake.

STEP 3: For the crumble, add all-purpose flour and brown sugar to another medium bowl and stir it together. Melt the butter and pour it over the flour mixture. With a fork mix it together until it forms a crumbled structure and there is no dry flour left. Set aside while making the cheesecake filling.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS - CRUST AND CHEESECAKE

Turn the oven heat to 160ºC/ 325ºF conventional oven. Prepare a 23 cm/9 inch springform pan lined with parchment paper in the bottom.

STEP 1: In a food processor, add the cookies and granulated sugar and blend it all together until a fine sand-like texture. Melt the butter. Add the melted butter to the food processor and blend it together with the blended cookies.

STEP 2: In a 23 cm/ 9-inch spring cake pan add parchment paper to the bottom. Add the cookie crumbs and press the cookie crumbs down with the bottom of a glass, and up agains the side of the pan, so it’s well packed together and flattened out. Bake it for 10 minutes. Then let it cool down so that it’s cool to touch.

STEP 3: For the cheesecake, with a hand mixer or in a stand mix using the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese for 1 minute on low speed. Then add the granulated sugar. Once all the granulated sugar is added, scrape down the sides of the bowl and let it mix for 1 minute on low speed.

STEP 4: In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and cornstarch until smooth. Add it to the cream cheese with the vanilla extract and let it mix on low speed until combined. Then add two eggs at a time and let it mix on low speed until combined. Once all the eggs have mixed in, scrape down the sides of the bowl and give it a final mix to make sure all the ingredients have incorporated.

STEP 5: Pour half the cheesecake batter into the spring pan and even it out. Gently divide half of the baked peaches in an even layer. Then gently pour over the other half of the cheesecake batter and even it out. Finally add the other half of the baked peached in an even layer, followed by the crumble.

STEP 6: Boil up water in a kettle. Place the springform pan in a 25 cm/10 inch cake pan. Place the cake pan in another baking pan or roasting pan and fill it with hot water ⅔ up the side of the pan. This method will prevent water from getting into the crust. Bake for 1 hour and 25-35 minutes.

STEP 7: Once the time has passed, give the tray a very gentle shake. The cheesecake should still have a small wobbly in the middle. Turn off the oven and have the oven door slightly open and let the cheesecake cool down in the oven for 1 hour. Finally, once at room temperature, place it in the fridge and let it set for at least 6 hours, preferable overnight.

EXPERT BAKING TIPS

• Use a kitchen scale: My default setting for my recipes is grams. It is the most precise way of measuring out your ingredients, I therefore highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
• Don't over mix your batter: I always use a spatula after everything has mixed together, to give it one final gentle fold together. This makes sure everything in the bottom of the mixing bowl has been mixed into the batter.
• Light vs. dark baking pans: For the best result, use an aluminum baking pan, greased with butter and lined with baking paper in the bottom. Aluminum pans are light in color and therefore attract less heat. That means it bakes more gently which results in a softer cake. If you use a black baking pan it'll attract a lot more heat. That will then give a darker crust, which can result in a dryer cake.

FAQ

WHY BAKE THE CHEESECAKE IN A WATER BATH

Why is baking a cheesecake in a water bath so important? What the water bath does, is that it makes the cheesecake bake more gentle. When baking a cheesecake without a water bath, it is more likely for it to over-bake, which will give a curdled texture, a cracked and lopsided top. The hot water protects your cheesecake while it's baking in the oven. It makes sure your cheesecake comes out smooth and cream

STORAGE

Store the peach crumble cheesecake in the refrigerator covered by plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It's best enjoyed within 3 days.

• Bake it for 10 minutes. Then let it cool down so that it’s cool to touch. Keep the oven turned on.

CHEESECAKE

• Alternatively, add a triple layer of aluminium foil around the cake pan to safely seal it from the water before placing it in a water bath. There might be a possibility of water leaking in, so make sure it's covered well if choosing this method.
• Bake for 1 hour and 25-35 minutes.
• Once the time has passed, give the tray a very gentle shake. The cheesecake should still be a small wobble in the middle. Turn off the oven and have the oven door slightly open and let the cheesecake cool down in the oven for 1 hour.
• Then take it out of the oven and remove it from the water bath. Take off the aluminium foil, if added, and place the cheesecake on a cooling rack. Let it cool down fully for about 1 hour to room temperature.
• Finally, once at room temperature, place it in the fridge and let it set for at least 6 hours, preferable overnight before eating.
