Ingredients

For the Cheesecake:

• 8 oz fat-free cream cheese (softened)
• 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar or a sugar substitute like stevia
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)

For the Peach Cobbler Topping:

• 2 medium peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp quick oats
• 1 tbsp light butter, melted

For the Salted Caramel Drizzle:

• 2 tbsp sugar-free caramel sauce
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Base

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheeses until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, sugar, almond milk, eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla bean paste, mixing until fully combined.
3. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake the Cheesecake

1. Place the pan into a large roasting pan filled with about 1 inch of water to create a water bath. This ensures the cheesecake bakes evenly and stays creamy.
2. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
3. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Make the Peach Cobbler Topping

1. In a medium bowl, toss the peach slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Spread the peaches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. In a separate small bowl, mix the oats and light butter, then sprinkle over the peaches.
3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Prepare the Salted Caramel Drizzle

1. Heat the sugar-free caramel sauce in the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir in a pinch of sea salt to taste.

Assemble the Dessert

1. Once the cheesecake is chilled, carefully remove it from the springform pan.
2. Spread the peach cobbler topping evenly over the cheesecake.
3. Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides for a beautiful finish.
