Why You’ll Love This Creamy Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Fruit Salad

You’ll love this dessert for its perfect balance of light and decadent flavors. The sweetness of peaches pairs beautifully with the creamy cheesecake base, while the graham cracker crumbs bring in that comforting cobbler vibe. It’s quick to prepare, requires no oven time, and tastes even better chilled. Best of all, it’s easy to customize with other fruits if peaches aren’t in season.

Can I Use Canned or Frozen Peaches Instead?

Absolutely! While nothing beats the juicy sweetness of fresh peaches, canned peaches in light syrup or thawed frozen peaches are great alternatives when fresh fruit isn’t available. Just be sure to drain them well and pat dry with a paper towel to prevent the salad from getting watery. You can also adjust the sugar slightly if your peaches are already sweetened.

Ingredients for the Creamy Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Fruit Salad

Fresh peaches are the star here, lending natural sweetness and juicy texture. They bring that quintessential summer flavor to the dish. Cream cheese forms the luscious base, giving it that classic cheesecake richness and tang. Whipped topping lightens the filling and makes it airy and spoonable. A bit of powdered sugar balances the tanginess of the cream cheese, while a pinch of cinnamon gives a subtle warmth reminiscent of cobbler. Lastly, crushed graham crackers add a buttery crunch and tie the whole dessert to its cobbler inspiration.

How To Make the Creamy Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Fruit Salad

Step 1: Prepare the Peaches

Peel and slice the fresh peaches into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces. If using canned or frozen peaches, drain and pat them dry. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Base

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and a pinch of cinnamon, and beat again until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is fluffy and uniform.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad

In a serving dish, layer the peach slices with generous dollops of the cheesecake mixture. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers between the layers and on top for that buttery cobbler crunch.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up beautifully.

How to Serve and Store Creamy Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Fruit Salad

This creamy fruit salad serves about 6 to 8 people, making it perfect for family gatherings or brunches. It’s best served chilled straight from the fridge, allowing the flavors to shine and the texture to stay creamy yet light. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. The graham cracker crumbs will soften slightly over time but still taste delicious.
