Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
Fruit and Toppings
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup crunchy toppings (crushed graham crackers, nuts, or cereal)
Assembly
- 6–8 waffle cones, crispy and sturdy
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until the batter is silky and evenly combined.
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will add lightness and volume to your filling, creating that perfect fluffy cheesecake texture.
- Fold Whipped Cream Into Cheesecake Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, careful not to deflate the mixture. This ensures your filling will be airy yet creamy and smooth.
- Add Crunchy Toppings: Mix in crushed graham crackers or your chosen crunchy bits into the filling, giving every bite that delightful texture contrast that defines Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cones.
- Assemble the Cones: Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each waffle cone with the cheesecake mixture. Top each cone with sliced fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of extra crunchy topping to finish.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth filling.
- Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping heavy cream for best results.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for best sweetness and flavor.
- Fill cones just before serving to maintain crispness of the waffle cones.
- Press toppings gently into the filling so they stay secure when serving.
