Peaches and cream cheese such a great combination adds a nice soft texture to a classic peach cobbler recipe. We enjoy peach cobbler in the summer and at Thanksgiving thanks!
Do you use ripe peaches or a little under ripe peach
I use ripe peaches but ‘just’ ripe if you know what I mean.
This was delicious & enjoyed by everyone at our dinner party. Esp. good with ice cream! I cut the sugar in half & substituted 1C whole wheat pastry flour for one of the cups of white flour. Healthification! (ahem! we won’t mention the butter & cream cheese) When I saw how runny the batter was, I went running to check reviews, in case I missed a correction or something. But no! So don’t freak out over that. It bakes up beautifully. Oh, I also used only 2C peaches & then added 2C fresh blueberries. I bet you could do any number of berry substitutions, nectarines, pears would be awesome, etc.
Thanks so much Mary for giving such a detailed review and thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it!
Delicious! Cake-like base was very good. The next time I make it, I’ll double the cream cheese part. It was good (just not enough). I’d also add a tablespoon of milk to make it spread easier.
