Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 6 sturdy waffle cones

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Fresh Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, patted dry, and diced

Crunchy Topping

  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or cookies
  • 1/4 cup optional chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or pistachios)

Optional Garnishes

  • Sprinkles or additional chopped nuts
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Strawberry syrup drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Gradually fold in whipped heavy cream to create a light, creamy texture suitable for piping into cones.
  2. Prep the Strawberries and Crunchy Topping: Wash, dry thoroughly, and dice the fresh strawberries into small pieces. Mix crushed graham crackers or cookies with optional chopped nuts to make the crunchy topping.
  3. Fill the Cones: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each waffle cone with a generous layer of cheesecake filling. Add some diced strawberries halfway through the filling, then top with more cheesecake filling, leaving room for the toppings.
  4. Add the Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and nuts mix generously over the cheesecake filling, pressing lightly to make it adhere. Add a few strawberry pieces on top for decoration and flavor.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the filled cones upright in a stand or glass and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the cheesecake to set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a lump-free, smooth filling.
  • Freeze waffle cones for 10 minutes before filling to help them stay crisp longer.
  • Using a piping bag for filling helps achieve clean, neat cones without mess.
  • Pat fresh strawberries dry after washing to prevent a watery filling.
  • Consume cones on the day they are made for maximum freshness and crunch.
