Ingredients
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 it becomes smooth and pourable for easy dipping.
- Coat the Cones: Dip the top part of each waffle or sugar cone into the melted white chocolate, tapping off any excess chocolate to avoid drips.
- Add Strawberry Crunch: Immediately roll the white chocolate-coated portion of the cone in strawberry crunch topping, pressing gently so the topping adheres well.
- Set the Cones: Place the coated cones upright on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Prepare the Filling Bag: Transfer the no-bake cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag, and snip off one corner to create a piping tip for controlled filling.
- Initial Filling: Pipe the cheesecake filling halfway into each cone, then add a small spoonful of strawberry glaze and a few diced fresh strawberries on top for added flavor and texture.
- Final Filling: Pipe the remaining cheesecake filling to fill each cone to the top, then add another layer of strawberry glaze and diced strawberries as garnish.
- Finish & Decorate: Sprinkle additional strawberry crunch topping on the surface, drizzle with more melted white chocolate if desired, and add a final dusting of strawberry crunch for extra crunch and presentation.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the fully assembled cheesecake cones for 10-20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and enhance the texture.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is not overheated to prevent burning and maintain smoothness.
- The strawberry crunch topping should be pressed gently to stick well to the melted chocolate.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture contrast.
- Chilling the cones before serving helps the cheesecake filling firm up for easier eating.
- These cones are best enjoyed within a day to preserve the crispiness of the cones.
