I loved these scrumptious treats and I believe you will too. I based this recipe off my Blueberry Gooey Butter Cake recipe that I made as Christmas cookies back in 2012. The recipe is very similar. But instead of using fresh blueberries I substituted diced peaches. Then I added a cinnamon-sugar on top which the blueberry recipe didn’t have.
If you’ve been following my blog lately, you know that we’ve had a ton of peaches bearing on our fruit trees. I just finished making the last two of 40 different peach desserts today. It has been a whirlwind 10 days working eight-hour days as a baking machine! I have to admit I’m wiped out from baking and will be glad to get my life back a little! And for this season at least, all the peaches have finally been used up. I have so enjoyed making peach desserts for family, friends, and John’s co-workers.
A couple of weeks ago we were in New York City for a meeting with my husband’s company. It was my first time to visit NYC since I was a 7 year old girl–half a century ago! I have to admit I loved New York. Granted, we only visited Manhattan and Brooklyn but I really enjoyed everything about NYC.
We shopped in the ChinaTown area and took a city bus tour which was quite informative. We enjoyed a dinner cruise where we took lots of pictures of the New York skyline and the Statue of Liberty. We also attended the Brooklyn Tabernacle twice. Wow, the music there was incredible. I loved the beautiful movie theatre they’ve refinished. It’s truly a work of art. The preaching was also incredible. If I lived in that area, I would attend there for sure.
Like I said, I loved New York City. While we were on the dinner cruise, John and I struck up a conversation with a work associate from his computer department. We were talking about all the fruit from our peach trees and wondering what we were going to do with it all.
That’s when Rusty brought up how much everyone out at John’s office always enjoyed our Christmas cookies each year. I told him I would make his department a peach dessert when we got back. That conversation got me to thinking. That’s when I got the inspiration to begin a baking frenzy and bake peach desserts for John’s co-workers, family and church friends. And when we got back to Texas that’s exactly what I did. Peaches ‘n Cream Gooey Bars was the dessert I made for Rusty and his department. I hear that everybody enjoyed this ooey, gooey dessert quite a bit.
If you enjoy gooey desserts, this peach one is marvelous. It’s great for any occasion, but it’s especially nice when fresh peaches are available which is mostly summer and fall, unless your area imports peaches from Chile or South America. While any fresh fruit would probably work on for this dessert, peaches sure give it a nice touch. It’s a treat your family is sure to enjoy especially if you like peachy desserts or sweet cream cheese desserts. All I can say is I was glad I sent this dessert in to work with John or I would have eaten ALL of it! 😉
Peaches ‘n Cream Gooey Bars are one of the most decadent desserts you’ll ever eat.
These lovely dessert bars are ooey and gooey and delicious.
Even though I baked these luscious bars over an hour they are still gooey on the inside.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients to make Peaches ‘n Cream Gooey Bars.
For the crust layer, place flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
Add a stick of melted butter and stir to combine.
Now and an egg and cream.
Combine ingredients again.
Spray a 9×13″ glass baking dish with cooking spray. Spread crust layer into prepared dish and press down firmly.
For the cream cheese layer: place softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, powdered sugar and butter. Add lemon juice and vanilla.
Cream ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth.
Pour cream cheese layer over top of crust layer and smooth the top.
Sprinkle diced peaches over top of cream cheese layer.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake at 350 for 65-70 minutes or until set. The topping in the middle should not be jiggly. Allow dessert to cool at least 30 minutes before sprinkling with powdered sugar. Cut into bars.
Peaches ‘n Cream Gooey Bars are delectable.
Peaches n’ Cream Gooey Bars are great for summer entertaining especially when peaches are in season. The cinnamon-sugar topping adds a crusty glaze on top of the peaches as it bakes into the bar.
Here’s the recipe.

These recipes look amazing, but I am doing Keto an low carb. Would there be anyway I could make some of these recipes Keto using almond flour an Swerve sugar?

Hi, Joann. I would certainly try! Just understand that almond flour will make it much more dense and heavier. Can you substitute a GF flour like Cup4Cup or Better Batter? Or another GF blend? Or can you cut it with oatmeal flour? That would be preferable. But if you can’t I would just experiment. I’ve not heard of Swerve sugar, but you could also experiment with Stevia liquid drops. I experiment all the time. It’s always worth a try. Can you use coconut sugar or is that too high in carbs too? It’s a pretty good substitute. My recommendation is to try your options and see how it turns out. You may have to try a couple of different options, but I would keep trying and not give up! 🙂

Could the recipe be put into two 8×8″ pans instead, & freeze one after it’s been cooked? I would think that you’d cut the cooking time to a little over 1/2 that was recommended….to like 35 to 40 min?…or when center is done the way you mentioned. I have a New Wave, & the 8×8 fits in it perfectly, so that would work best for me during the summer months when peaches are ripe, & yummy!

Carolyn, I don’t know of any reason why this wouldn’t work in an 8×8″ dish. Adjust the baking time and enjoy some of these delicious bars now and then later when you defrost them.You can cook the bars in a foil pan for the ones you want to freeze, or you can take them out of your dish and put them in a plastic container and freeze them that way as well. Thanks for stopping by and making a comment, Carolyn. I hope you enjoy these luscious, gooey bars.

could you use apples instead? would u use fresh or cannned? this looks heavenly!!
Teresa

Veronica, this will work with peaches, apples or pears, and while fresh is always best, canned or frozen will also work. But I would drain juice and try to pat dry any extra liquid. Hope you try it soon.
