Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Strawberry Crunch Topping

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Other

  • 6 sturdy waffle cones

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is velvety and lump-free, forming the luscious cheesecake base.
  2. Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping: Finely chop fresh strawberries and gently toss them with crushed graham crackers (or cookie crumbs) and a splash of lemon juice, ensuring an even, fresh, and crunchy topping.
  3. Assemble the Cones: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each waffle cone, filling about three-quarters full. Generously top with the strawberry crunch mixture, pressing lightly to help it stick.
  4. Chill and Serve: Place assembled cones upright in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the filling set. Serve chilled or store covered in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling without lumps.
  • Choose firm waffle cones that won’t become soggy quickly.
  • Chill the cones thoroughly to help the filling set and enhance flavor melding.
  • Prepare the strawberry crunch topping fresh just before serving to maintain crispness.
  • Use a piping bag for neat and even cheesecake filling placement.
