Peach Caramel Blondie Cheesecake

Peach Caramel Blondie Cheesecake is a delicious dessert that combines several rich flavors and textures. Here’s a breakdown of what it typically includes:

1. Blondie Base: This is a type of brownie made with brown sugar, giving it a chewy texture and a rich, caramel-like flavor. The blondie serves as the bottom layer of the cheesecake.
2. Cheesecake Layer: The cheesecake is usually made with cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, creating a creamy, smooth filling that sits on top of the blondie base.
3. Peach Filling: Fresh or canned peaches are often used, either mixed into the cheesecake layer or layered on top. They add a fruity flavor and a bit of moisture.
4. Caramel Sauce: Drizzled on top or swirled into the cheesecake, caramel sauce adds sweetness and a rich, buttery flavor that complements the peaches and blondie.
5. Toppings: It can be finished with whipped cream, additional peach slices, or more caramel drizzle for an extra touch.

To make it, you would typically bake the blondie base first, then prepare the cheesecake filling, layering it over the blondie, and finally adding the peaches and caramel before baking again until set. It’s a decadent dessert that’s great for special occasions!

Here’s a recipe for Peach Caramel Blondie Cheesecake that you can try:

Ingredients:

For the Blondie Base:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cheesecake Layer:

• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)

For the Caramel Topping:

• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. Make the Blondie Base:

• In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
• Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool slightly.

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:

• In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Gently fold in the diced peaches.

1. Assemble the Cheesecake:

• Pour the cheesecake mixture over the slightly cooled blondie base, spreading it evenly.
• Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are lightly golden. The center may still have a slight jiggle.

1. Cool and Serve:

• Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
• Before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. You can also add extra peach slices if desired.
