Ingredients
Scale
Cones and Coating
- 6 Waffle or Sugar Cones
- 5 oz White Chocolate, melted
- 1 cup Strawberry Crunch Topping
Filling
- 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 smooth and pourable, suitable for dipping the cones.
- Coat the Cones: Dip the top part of each waffle or sugar cone into the melted white chocolate, ensuring even coverage. Tap off any excess chocolate to avoid dripping.
- Add Strawberry Crunch: Immediately roll the white chocolate-coated portion of each cone in the strawberry crunch topping so it sticks firmly to the melted chocolate.
- Set the Cones: Place the coated cones upright on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate and toppings to harden for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.
- Prepare the Filling Bag: Transfer the no-bake cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a small corner snipped off to allow controlled filling of the cones.
- Initial Filling: Pipe the cheesecake filling halfway into each cone carefully. Then add a small spoonful of strawberry glaze and a few diced fresh strawberry pieces on top of the filling.
- Final Filling: Continue piping more cheesecake filling to fill each cone completely to the top. Add additional strawberry glaze and more diced strawberries on top for decoration and flavor.
- Finish & Decorate: Sprinkle extra strawberry crunch topping over the filled cones, drizzle some more melted white chocolate if desired, and add a final dusting of the strawberry crunch topping to complete the look.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake cones for 10-20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and ensure a perfect, cool texture.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- The no-bake cheesecake filling can be homemade or store-bought premade for convenience.
- Make sure the white chocolate is fully cooled but not hardened before dipping to ensure even coating.
- Store any leftover cones in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- For a variation, try using other fruit crunch toppings or swapping strawberry glaze for raspberry or cherry.
