Ingredients
Scale
Cones and Coating
- 6 Waffle or Sugar Cones
- 5 oz White Chocolate, melted
- 1 cup Strawberry Crunch Topping
Cheesecake Filling & Toppings
- 24 oz No Bake Cheesecake Filling (premade or homemade)
- 6-8 Strawberries, diced
- Strawberry Glaze or Sauce, as needed
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate according to the package directions until it is smooth and easily pourable for coating the cones.
- Coat the Cones: Dip the top part of each waffle or sugar cone into the melted white chocolate, tapping off any excess chocolate carefully to avoid drips.
- Add Strawberry Crunch: Immediately roll the white chocolate coated part of each cone into the strawberry crunch topping so it adheres firmly to the chocolate.
- Set the Cones: Place the coated cones upright on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to harden and set for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
- Prepare the Filling Bag: Transfer the no-bake cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with a snipped corner to enable easy and controlled filling of the cones.
- Initial Filling: Pipe cheesecake filling halfway into each cone. Add a small spoonful of strawberry glaze and a few fresh diced strawberry pieces over the filling.
- Final Filling: Continue piping more cheesecake filling to fill the cones fully to the top, then add additional strawberry glaze and diced strawberries on top for fresh flavor.
- Finish & Decorate: Sprinkle extra strawberry crunch topping on the filled cones, optionally drizzle some more melted white chocolate, and add a final dusting of crunch topping for added texture and visual appeal.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cones for 10-20 minutes prior to serving to allow the cheesecake filling to set and to enhance the overall texture and taste.
Notes
- Use store-bought or homemade no-bake cheesecake filling depending on preference.
- Ensure the white chocolate is smoothly melted for even coating on the cones.
- Chilling time can be extended up to 30 minutes for firmer filling texture.
- These cones should be served chilled for best taste and to prevent melting.
- Strawberry crunch topping can be substituted with crushed freeze-dried strawberries mixed with crushed cereal for a homemade version.
