Ingredients

Scale
  • Topping:
    • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
    • 9 graham cracker sheets, crumbled   
       
    • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • Cheesecake Salad:
    • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 3.4 ounces instant cheesecake pudding mix
    • 1 cup liquid French vanilla creamer
    • 8 medium peaches, pitted and sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is at the correct temperature for even baking, preventing uneven cooking.

  • Prepare the Topping:

    • Combine the brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, kosher salt, and nutmeg in a bowl. Mix until well combined. This creates the flavorful base for the topping, ensuring a consistent texture.
    • Add the crumbled graham crackers and granulated sugar, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated. This ensures a crunchy, sweet topping, preventing uneven distribution of flavor.
    • Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool. This ensures a crispy topping, preventing a soggy texture.

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Salad:

    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. This ensures a lump-free base for the salad, creating a consistent texture.
    • Add the instant cheesecake pudding mix and French vanilla creamer, and continue to beat until the mixture is creamy and smooth. This creates the creamy cheesecake base, preventing a lumpy or grainy texture.
    • Gently fold in the peach pieces until evenly distributed. This adds the fresh, fruity component, ensuring a balanced flavor profile.

  • Assemble and Chill:

    • Sprinkle the cooled graham cracker topping over the peach mixture. This adds the crunchy cobbler element, enhancing the texture.
    • Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to set, ensuring a cohesive and flavorful dessert.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese for smooth mixing.
  • Bake topping until golden brown.
  • Fold peaches gently to avoid mushiness.
  • Chill thoroughly before serving.
  • Use firm, ripe peaches.
