It’s simple to make and perfect for any occasion, whether it's a summer gathering or a cozy evening indoors.

Why You'll Love This Dessert The magic of these parfaits lies in their layered presentation and the harmony of textures. Each bite offers the buttery crunch of the graham cracker crumble, the light and airy cheesecake filling, and the burst of juicy peaches. This dessert doesn't just taste good—it looks stunning in clear jars or cups, making it a beautiful addition to your dessert table. Plus, it's a no-bake treat, so you won't have to turn on the oven for long, making it a breeze to whip up even on warm days.

Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Parfaits Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 cup whipped topping (or heavy cream, whipped)
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp sugar (optional, adjust based on sweetness of peaches)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crumble Topping:
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until golden. Let it cool completely, creating a crunchy and sweet layer that adds texture to each parfait.

2. Make the Cheesecake Layer:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy. This layer provides a velvety richness that balances perfectly with the peaches.

3. Prepare the Peach Layer:
If using fresh peaches, peel and dice them, then toss with sugar if desired to enhance their sweetness. For canned peaches, simply drain and dice them, making them ready to use in seconds.

4. Assemble the Parfaits:
In clear cups or jars, layer the ingredients: start with a layer of crumble topping, followed by a layer of the cheesecake mixture, and then a layer of peaches. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with cheesecake on top and sprinkling extra crumble and peach slices for a beautiful garnish.

5. Chill:
Refrigerate the parfaits for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. This chilling time helps the dessert to set, making each spoonful perfectly creamy and refreshing.

A Perfect End to Any Meal These Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Parfaits are not only delicious but also versatile. Serve them in smaller portions for a light treat or in larger jars for a more indulgent dessert. The combination of ripe peaches, smooth cheesecake filling, and crunchy crumble makes this dessert irresistible.
