Choosing the Best Peaches

Frozen Peaches
Thaw and drain excess liquid before cooking.
Canned Peaches
Drain well to prevent excess moisture.
Choose peaches packed in juice rather than heavy syrup when possible.
Why These Cheesecake Bites Work
The cookie crust creates a buttery base that supports the creamy cheesecake without becoming soggy. The peach layer adds fruity sweetness and a touch of tartness, while the cinnamon streusel brings a classic cobbler texture with every bite. Chilling the cheesecakes allows the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld beautifully.

Bourbon Peach
Add 1 tablespoon bourbon to the peach mixture.
Cinnamon Roll Version
Mix a teaspoon of cinnamon into the cheesecake batter.
Pecan Cobbler
