Peach Caramel Blondie Cheesecake Recipe

How to Make Peach Caramel Blondie Cheesecake

Step 1: Prepare the Blondie Base

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar, stirring until smooth.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Then, add flour and salt, stirring until just combined.
  4. Press the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Layer

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled blondie base, spreading it evenly.

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Return the pan to the oven and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  2. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 4: Add the Toppings

  1. Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, arrange sliced peaches on top.
  2. Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the peaches.
  3. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top for a crunchy finish.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Slice into squares, serve, and enjoy! This dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
