Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • Optional: 1 tsp lemon zest

Assembly & Topping

  • 6–8 waffle cones
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or cookies

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Finally, stir in diced fresh strawberries and optional lemon zest, distributing evenly.
  2. Fill the Waffle Cones: Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each waffle cone, filling near the top but leaving space for the topping. Using a piping bag with a wide tip helps keep the filling neat and even.
  3. Add the Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or cookies generously on top of each filled cone. Gently press the crumbs into the filling so they adhere well.
  4. Chill and Serve: Place the cones upright in a cone holder or tall glass and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the filling and meld flavors. Serve chilled for best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese properly by letting it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to avoid lumps.
  • Use sturdy waffle cones to prevent cracking or sogginess.
  • Pat strawberries dry before dicing to avoid watery filling.
  • Fill cones just before serving to maintain crispness.
  • Refrigerate filled cones thoroughly to thicken filling and enhance flavor, but avoid storing filled cones for extended periods to prevent sogginess.
