Ingredients
Scale
Cones & 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 smooth and pourable, ensuring it is free of lumps.
- Coat the Cones: Dip the top part of each waffle or sugar cone into the melted white chocolate, tapping off excess chocolate to avoid drips.
- Add Strawberry Crunch: Immediately roll the white chocolate coated section of each cone in the strawberry crunch topping so it sticks well and creates a crunchy layer.
- Set the Cones: Place the coated cones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to harden for 5-10 minutes so the white chocolate sets firmly.
- Prepare the Filling Bag: Transfer the no-bake cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with one corner snipped off for precise filling.
- Initial Filling: Pipe cheesecake filling into each cone halfway. Then add a small spoonful of strawberry glaze and a few pieces of diced fresh strawberries on top to infuse fresh flavor.
- Final Filling: Continue piping the cheesecake filling to fill the cones to the top. Add more strawberry glaze and diced strawberries to the surface for an appealing finish.
- Finish & Decorate: Sprinkle extra strawberry crunch topping over the filled cones and drizzle additional melted white chocolate if desired. Add a final dusting of crunch topping for texture and visual appeal.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cones for 10-20 minutes before serving to allow the cheesecake filling to firm up and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use freshly diced strawberries for the best taste and texture in the filling.
- Ensure the white chocolate is not too hot before dipping cones to avoid melting them.
- If you don’t have premade no-bake cheesecake filling, you can prepare a homemade version using cream cheese, sugar, and whipped cream or condensed milk.
- Chill the cones thoroughly before serving to maintain their structure and enhance flavor.
- You can substitute strawberry glaze with jam or preserves if preferred.
