Ingredients You Need:
Full ingredients and recipe are in the recipe card below. Read through this section for all the ingredients substitution and baking tips!
Biscoff Cookies: The base of the perfectly crunchy and buttery fully crusted crust that encases the top, bottom, and all the way around the sides of this cheesecake — crushed into fine crumbs and mixed with melted butter for that warm, caramelized, and slightly spiced peach cobbler crunch in every single bite. Graham crackers work as a substitute.
Salted Butter: Melted into the Biscoff cookie crust to bind the crumbs together and create a rich, buttery, and perfectly crunchy crust that holds its shape beautifully when inverted for the most stunning fully crusted presentation.
Peaches: The star of the sweet, tart, and jammy homemade peach cobbler filling — fresh or frozen peaches are sliced and cooked down with brown sugar, maple syrup, and warm cinnamon into the most perfectly sweet, bright, and jammy filling that bursts with fresh summer peach flavor in every single bite.
Brown Sugar: Adds a deep, molasses-like sweetness to the homemade peach cobbler filling that enhances the warm peach and cinnamon flavors and creates the most perfectly jammy and gooey peach cobbler filling throughout.
Maple Syrup: Adds a natural, caramel-like sweetness to the peach cobbler filling and the easy salted caramel that pairs beautifully with the bright peach flavor and warm cinnamon spice throughout — also used as the base of the easy homemade salted caramel for drizzling over the inverted cheesecake.
Lemon Juice: Adds a bright, tart citrus flavor to the peach cobbler filling that balances the sweetness of the peaches and makes the warm, jammy filling truly shine in the center of the cheesecake.
Cinnamon: Adds a warm, cozy spice to both the peach cobbler filling and the cinnamon whipped cream that gives every single bite that classic peach cobbler flavor that is warm, comforting, and absolutely irresistible throughout.
Cornstarch: Whisked together with water to create a slurry that thickens the peach cobbler filling into a perfectly jammy consistency that holds its shape beautifully in the center of the cheesecake without running into the cheesecake filling.
Vanilla Bean Paste or Extract: Adds a warm, sweet, and aromatic flavor that enhances the peach cobbler filling, the no-bake cheesecake filling, and the cinnamon whipped cream throughout every single bite.
Heavy Cream: Used in both the no-bake cheesecake filling and the cinnamon whipped cream — whipped to stiff peaks and folded into the cheesecake filling for a light, airy, and perfectly set texture, and whipped with powdered sugar and cinnamon for the most beautiful and fluffy serving topping throughout.
Cream Cheese: The base of the rich and creamy no-bake cheesecake filling — make sure it is fully at room temperature before beating for the smoothest, most lump-free filling possible that layers beautifully throughout the cheesecake.
Powdered Sugar: Used in both the no-bake cheesecake filling and the cinnamon whipped cream — sweetens and thickens the cheesecake filling into a smooth, perfectly balanced, and luscious consistency and creates a perfectly sweetened and stable whipped cream topping throughout.
Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt: Adds a subtle tang and extra creaminess to the no-bake cheesecake filling that balances the richness of the cream cheese and creates the most perfectly smooth and silky texture throughout every single bite.
Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances all the warm peach cobbler flavors throughout the cheesecake filling and the easy salted caramel.
Almond Butter: Combined with the maple syrup and oil to create a smooth, creamy, and naturally sweetened easy salted caramel that drizzles beautifully over the inverted cheesecake for the most indulgent and perfectly balanced finishing touch.
Avocado Oil or Coconut Oil: Whisked into the easy salted caramel for a smooth, silky, and perfectly pourable consistency that drizzles beautifully over the warm inverted cheesecake right before serving.

Tips for Making a Fully Crusted Upside-Down Peach Cobbler Cheesecake (No-Bake):
Make The Bottom Crust Disc First: Start by making the bottom crust disc before anything else so it has plenty of time to freeze and become completely solid — this disc is what fully encloses the cheesecake filling and is the most important step for a clean inversion and a beautifully fully crusted cheesecake.
Freeze The Bottom Crust Disc Separately: After pressing the bottom crust disc into the springform pan and freezing for 15–20 minutes, gently release it from the pan and place it on a plate back in the freezer — keeping it frozen and separate ensures it stays solid and ready to place on top of the assembled cheesecake.
Use A Kitchen Torch Or Room Temperature To Release The Crust Disc: Use a kitchen torch to gently loosen the sides of the frozen crust disc from the springform pan, or let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before releasing — this prevents the disc from cracking when removed.
Make The Peach Cobbler Filling While The Crust Disc Freezes: Prepare the peach cobbler filling right after the bottom crust disc goes into the freezer so it has plenty of time to cool completely before adding it to the cheesecake — warm peach filling will melt the cheesecake filling and affect the texture of the layers.
Steam The Peaches For Faster Softening: Cover the pan with a lid for a few minutes while cooking the peach filling to help steam the peaches and speed up the softening process — this ensures the peaches are perfectly tender, sweet, and jammy throughout.
Cool The Peach Filling Completely: Transfer the peach filling to a separate bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent a film from forming, and place it in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process — it must be completely cooled before adding it to the well in the cheesecake filling.
Pack The Main Crust In Tightly And All The Way Up The Sides: When pressing the main crust mixture into the springform pan, work slowly and really pack it in tightly and evenly all the way up the sides — a well-packed crust on the bottom and all the way up the sides is what creates that beautiful fully crusted cheesecake that holds together perfectly when inverted.
Freeze The Main Crust Before Filling: Place the springform pan with the main crust into the freezer for at least 15–20 minutes before adding the cheesecake filling — this helps the crust set up firmly so it holds its shape when the filling is added on top.
Use Cold Heavy Cream: Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before beating — cold cream whips up much faster and holds its shape better for a light, fluffy, and perfectly stable cheesecake filling.
Beat The Heavy Cream To Stiff Peaks: Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form before folding into the cheesecake filling — this is what gives the no-bake cheesecake its light, airy, and perfectly set texture throughout.
Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is fully at room temperature before beating — cold cream cheese will result in a lumpy filling that is difficult to smooth out and affect the final texture of the cheesecake.
Fold The Whipped Cream In Gently: Use a spatula to slowly and gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling — folding too aggressively will deflate the whipped cream and result in a denser, less airy cheesecake filling throughout.
Create A Deep Well For The Peach Filling: When adding the first two thirds of the cheesecake filling, push it out and up the sides of the pan to create a deep well in the center — this well needs to be deep enough to hold all of the peach cobbler filling without it overflowing into the cheesecake filling.
Fill The Cheesecake To The Top Of The Rim: Make sure the final layer of cheesecake filling reaches the very top of the rim of the pan before placing the frozen crust disc on top — this ensures the cheesecake is perfectly level and the crust disc sits flush for the most beautiful fully crusted result.
Place The Frozen Crust Disc On Top Last: Place the frozen bottom crust disc on top of the filled cheesecake to fully enclose all of the filling — refer to the video for guidance on how to position it correctly for the most secure and beautiful fully crusted cheesecake.
Refrigerate Overnight For The Best Results: While a minimum of 6 hours is required, refrigerating the cheesecake overnight gives the best texture, the cleanest inversion, and the most beautiful fully crusted presentation when served.
Prepare The Cinnamon Whipped Cream And Salted Caramel Right Before Serving: Make the cinnamon whipped cream and easy salted caramel the morning of serving so they are perfectly fresh, light, and ready to dollop and drizzle over the inverted cheesecake right before serving.
Invert Quickly And Confidently: When inverting the cheesecake, place the serving plate upside down on top of the pan and flip it quickly and confidently in one smooth motion — hesitating can cause the cheesecake to shift or not release cleanly for the most stunning presentation.
How to Store a Fully Crusted Upside-Down Peach Cobbler Cheesecake (No-Bake):
Best Served Fresh: This fully crusted upside down peach cobbler cheesecake is at its absolute best served fresh the day it is inverted and smashed for the most fun, interactive, and impressive dessert experience with the cinnamon whipped cream and easy salted caramel on top.
Make Ahead: This cheesecake is a wonderful make-ahead dessert — assemble it the night before, cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate overnight. Invert, smash, and top with cinnamon whipped cream and salted caramel right before serving for the best presentation and texture.
Make Ahead (Peach Cobbler Filling): The peach cobbler filling can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator — this is a great way to save time the day of assembling the cheesecake.
Make Ahead (Bottom Crust Disc): The frozen bottom crust disc can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the freezer until ready to assemble — this is a great way to save time and make the assembly process smoother and more efficient.
Make Ahead (Easy Salted Caramel): The easy salted caramel can be made in advance and stored in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature or warm slightly before drizzling over the inverted cheesecake right before serving.
Refrigerator: Store leftover cheesecake covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The Biscoff cookie crust will soften slightly as it sits but the flavors will remain delicious and the cheesecake will still be incredibly creamy and indulgent throughout.
Cinnamon Whipped Cream: The cinnamon whipped cream is best made fresh right before serving — it does not store well once whipped so it is recommended to prepare it right before serving for the most beautiful and fluffy result.
Freezer: Freeze individual portions of the assembled but uninverted cheesecake in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before inverting and serving for the best texture and presentation.

Q: Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh?
A: Yes. Both canned and frozen peaches work well as substitutes — make sure to drain canned peaches very well before using and thaw and drain frozen peaches of excess liquid before adding to the filling to prevent it from becoming too watery and affecting the texture of the cheesecake.
Q: Can I substitute the Biscoff cookies for the crust?
