Crisp waffle cones coated in strawberry crunch and filled with a fluffy no-bake cheesecake cream, topped with juicy strawberries for the ultimate creamy-crunchy summer dessert.

Ingredients

  • Waffle Cones: 12 standard cones
  • White Chocolate or Vanilla Candy Melts: 6 ounces, melted
  • Golden Sandwich Cookies: 18 cookies, finely crushed
  • Freeze-Dried Strawberries: 1 cup, finely crushed
  • Unsalted Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted
  • Cream Cheese: 12 ounces, room temperature
  • Powdered Sugar: 2/3 cup
  • Pure Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Fresh Lemon Juice: 1 teaspoon
  • Heavy Whipping Cream: 3/4 cup, whipped to soft peaks
  • Fresh Strawberries: 1 to 1 1/2 cups, small dice plus slices for garnish
  • Granulated Sugar: 1 tablespoon
  • Salt: 1 pinch

Instructions

  1. Set a parchment-lined sheet pan on the counter. Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  2. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt until completely smooth. In a separate bowl whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
  3. Combine crushed cookies, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter in a bowl to form a rosy crumb.
  4. Dip cone rims into melted white chocolate, let excess drip, then roll rims in strawberry crunch. Stand cones upright in glasses or a cone holder on the prepared pan.
  5. Transfer cheesecake filling to a piping bag and pipe into each cone, filling to the top with swirls.
  6. Chill cones for 20 to 30 minutes so the filling sets and the rims firm up.
  7. Toss diced strawberries with granulated sugar for 5 minutes, then spoon on top of cones and finish with extra crunch. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest filling.
  • Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better volume.
  • Add strawberries just before serving to keep cones crisp.
  • For gluten free, use gluten free cones and cookies.
  • Leftover filling makes great parfaits with extra crunch and berries.
