Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cones combine creamy, tangy cheesecake filling with fresh strawberries and a crispy sugar cone shell for a delightful handheld dessert. Perfect for parties or summer treats, these cones offer a perfect balance of textures and a burst of sweet strawberry flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

  • Cream Cheese, softened – 8 oz (225 g)
  • Powdered Sugar – 3/4 cup (90 g)
  • Heavy Cream – 1 cup (240 ml), whipped to soft peaks
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon

Fruit and Cones

  • Fresh Strawberries – 1 cup, washed, hulled, and finely chopped
  • Sugar Cones – 8 cones

Toppings

  • Crushed Graham Crackers or Cookies – 1/2 cup (60 g)
  • Optional: Whole strawberry slices or fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to eliminate lumps. Whip the heavy cream separately to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and airy filling.
  2. Prep the Strawberries: Wash, hull, and finely chop fresh strawberries small enough to mix evenly into the filling, providing juicy bursts of flavor with every bite.
  3. Combine Filling and Strawberries: Carefully fold the chopped strawberries into the cheesecake filling, ensuring even distribution without breaking them down too much to avoid watery filling.
  4. Fill the Cones: Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each sugar cone with the strawberry cheesecake mixture, leaving some room at the top for crunchy toppings.
  5. Add the Crunchy Toppings: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or your preferred crunchy cookies on top. Optionally, add a few whole strawberry slices or fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Place the filled cones upright in a cone holder or sturdy glass. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and filling firm up slightly for easy eating.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and airy.
  • Chill cones in the freezer for 10 minutes before filling to keep them crisp longer.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries to enhance natural sweetness and juiciness.
  • Serve soon after filling to maintain cone crunchiness.
