Ingredients
Scale
For the Decorated Cones
- 13 golden Oreo cookies
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ tablespoons strawberry gelatin powder
- 10 ounces white chocolate melting wafers (Ghirardelli brand recommended)
- 6 waffle cones
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 16 ounces block-style cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
For the Garnish
- ½ cup diced fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons strawberry crunch (reserved from decorated cones)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Crunch: Crush the golden Oreo cookies finely and mix with the melted butter and strawberry gelatin powder until evenly combined. Set aside a small portion (2 tablespoons) for garnish, and the rest will be used to decorate the cones.
- Decorate the Cones: Melt the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Dip the top half of each waffle cone into the melted white chocolate, then immediately sprinkle the prepared strawberry Oreo crunch all around the dipped section. Place the cones upright on parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and sifted powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, fluffy cheesecake filling.
- Fill the Cones: Once the decorated cones are set, transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or spoon it carefully into each cone, filling them generously up to the top.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each filled cone with diced fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of the reserved strawberry crunch for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- The white chocolate coating will firm up quickly; work with one cone at a time for best results.
- You can prepare the decorated cones in advance and store them in a cool, dry place before filling to save time.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute gluten-free Oreo cookies and check waffle cone ingredients.
- Keep filled cones refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain freshness and prevent melting.
