Why This Recipe Works

This beautiful recipe is not just beautiful. It is even more delicious than it looks. I’ve been making this dessert for years and it always gets eaten very, very quickly.

Especially if you find yourself with ripe peaches on hand, this yummy dessert is for you. It is easy to make and it turns out perfectly baked every single time.

Recipe Ingredients

Cream cheese – Full-fat cream cheese should be used for the best, tastiest possible outcome.

Blueberries – I always use fresh blueberries to make this dessert, but frozen blueberries will work, too.

Peaches – Thinly slice 4 ripe peaches to place on top of the cheesecake after it has cooled.

Graham cracker crust – Any variety of graham crackers will work when creating the crust. Press graham cracker crumbs mixed with melted butter and sugar firmly into the pan using your fingers.

How To Make Blueberry Cheesecake with Peach Topping

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. In the bowl of a food processor, add the graham crackers, 1/3 cup sugar and melted butter. Process until crumbs form and butter is combined. Press crumbs onto the bottom of springform pan to create the crust.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine 4 packages of cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups sugar with a hand-held mixer until smooth. Blend in milk. Add eggs, one at a time, just until combined, followed by the sour cream, vanilla and flour. Mix until smooth.

Add the blueberries and carefully mix in with a spoon until combined. Pour the cheesecake filling into the graham cracker crust.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. When baking time is up, turn the oven off and allow cheesecake to cool while in the oven to prevent cracking. Once at room temperature, chill in the refrigerator for one hour.

Top cheesecake with the sliced peaches. In a small bowl, warm the peach preserves in the microwave for 30 seconds. Brush the warmed preserves over the peaches. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Recipe Notes

• Use 4 large fresh peaches or 6 small peaches for this recipe.
• Arrange peach slices in a circular pattern for a fun finishing touch!
• Refrigerate until you serve this recipe.
• If you are not a peach fan, forego this topping and replace with blueberry sauce!
• Add a burst of freshness by adding lemon juice and/or lemon zest to the mixture before baking.

Salted Butter vs Unsalted Butter

Ahh, the great baking debate. Many bakers use unsalted butter in their baked goods in order to avoid over-salting. I, however, believe that there is no such thing as “over-salting.”

I always use salted butter in my baked goods (and for everything else under the sun) because it gives everything I make an extra touch of salty deliciousness. Using salted butter for the crust in this recipe turns it into perfection!

When Is National Cheesecake Day

National Cheesecake Day is celebrated on July 30th each year!

How To Remove Cheesecake From a Springform Pan

First make sure the cheesecake has had at least 1 hour to cool to room temperature. Run a knife down the inside of the pan, ensuring the cheesecake isn’t sticking. Unlatch and remove the band of the pan and remove it. Cut into slices directly from the springform bottom or carefully transfer to a serving plate and then slice.

How To Know When Cheesecake Is Done

Since oven temperatures can vary, you will need to know by sight whether or not a cheesecake is done when you make a cheesecake the traditional way.

If you give the pan a gentle shake, the cheesecake filling should all jiggly uniformly. The center of the cheesecake should jiggle at the same rate as the outer edges. You can also try to lightly touch to top in a few different spots. The center should feel as firm as the outer edges do. If the center is visibly uncooked, it would need to go back into the oven. Check it again after 10 minutes.

OR, if you have a ThermaPen (<– affiliate link), stick it into the center of the cheesecake. You’ll want to see an internal temperature of 150 degrees F (66 deg C).

How to Store and Freeze Cheesecake

Cover the cheesecake with foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

You can also freeze cheesecake (minus toppings) for up to 4 months, after tightly wrapping it with foil and placing inside a resealable freezer bag. When you are ready to enjoy the cheesecake, allow it to thaw completely in the fridge overnight.

Cheesecake Toppings

There are so many different toppings that taste delicious when piled on top of a cheesecake. Here are a few ideas to get you started!

• Canned or fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, apples, blackberries, cherries)
• Chocolate Ganache
• Salted Caramel Sauce
• Chopped or crushed cookies or candy bars
