Info and tips for peach cheesecake crumb bars

Here are some of my recommended tips to make your cheesecake crumb bars come out perfect!

• Don’t skip the parchment paper! Lining your baking pan with parchment is super important to be able to easily remove the bars with no sticking or falling apart.
• It’s best to wait for the bars to completely cool before slicing. I know it’s hard, but the cheesecake needs to set. Let cool completely in the fridge for even better texture!
• If you want a boost of extra sweetness, I like to make a little icing from powdered sugar and cream and drizzle that over the bars after they’ve cooled!
• Store the bars in the fridge for 4-5 days.

Equipment

I recently got a pastry cutter and it has been so helpful when making crumbles or pastry!

Ingredients for peach cheesecake crumb bars

Crumb

• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla

Cheesecake

• 1 softened block of cream cheese (250g)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 egg

Peaches

• 2 cups chopped peaches
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Begin by making the crumble by mixing the flour, brown sugar, and baking powder together first. Then add in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Use a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands to work everything together in a crumbling motion until you have a slightly damp crumb.
3. Next mix the cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, and an egg together with a hand mixer until smooth.
4. Add the chopped peaches, lemon juice, lemon zest, white sugar, and cornstarch to a bowl. Mix gently and set aside.
5. To a parchment lined 9×9 baking pan, press down half of the crumble mixture (I find using your hands easiest). Then spoon the cheesecake mixture overtop evenly. Add the peaches on top of the cheesecake mixture evenly, being sure to discard of any juices that have formed. Finally, add the rest of the crumble over the peaches.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove and let cool completely before slicing into squares. Enjoy!
