### 👨‍🍳 **How to Make Hennessy Peach Cobbler Cheesecake**

**Step 1: Prepare the crust**
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it’s packed tightly. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

**Step 2: Make the cheesecake filling**
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sugar, vanilla extract, and flour, and mix until fully combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, and finally stir in the sour cream. The mixture should be smooth and slightly thick.

**Step 3: Bake the cheesecake**
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled graham cracker crust. Bake at 325°F for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly wobbly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

**Step 4: Prepare the Hennessy peaches**
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir gently and cook until the peaches soften and begin to release their juices (about 5–7 minutes). Pour in the Hennessy cognac, stir, and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the alcohol cooks off and the sauce thickens. If needed, mix cornstarch with water and stir it in to thicken the sauce. Allow the peach mixture to cool completely before topping the cheesecake.

**Step 5: Make the cobbler topping**
In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Spread the crumbles on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

**Step 6: Assemble the cheesecake**
Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, top it with the Hennessy peach mixture, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the cobbler topping over the peaches for that perfect crunch.

**Step 7: Chill and serve**
Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
