Instructions

1. Make the Crust

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. Mix graham crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and Hennessy. Press into a 9-inch springform pan (up the sides slightly).

3. Bake for 10 mins, then cool.

2. Cook the Peach Cobbler Layer

1. In a saucepan, combine peaches, brown sugar, Hennessy, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.

2. Simmer for 5-7 mins until thickened. Let cool slightly.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. Beat cream cheese + sugar until smooth.

2. Add sour cream, eggs (one at a time), Hennessy, vanilla, and flour. Mix just until combined (don’t overbeat).

4. Assemble & Bake

1. Spread half the cheesecake batter over the crust.

2. Spoon half the peach mixture over the batter. Repeat layers, swirling gently.

3. Bake for 50-60 mins until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.

4. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cool 1 hour inside to prevent cracking.

5. Chill & Serve

1. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight best).

2. Top with whipped cream, caramel, and extra peaches.
