Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Fruit and Crunch
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
- Wilton Crunchy Sprinkle or similar crunchy topping, as needed
Assembly
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. 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 and creamy filling.
- Slice the Strawberries: Wash and pat dry fresh strawberries. Slice into small pieces or thin slices to ensure each bite has a juicy burst of flavor.
- Assemble the Cones: Hold each wafer cone upright and spoon a small amount of cheesecake filling inside, filling about one-third full. Add a layer of sliced strawberries, then sprinkle a generous amount of crunchy topping. Repeat layers until the cone is full, finishing with a sprinkle of crunch on top.
- Chill and Serve: Place the assembled cones in a cone holder or an upright container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the filling firm up slightly. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use cold cream cheese and whipping cream for smoother, fluffier filling.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain airy texture.
- Fill cones shortly before serving to avoid sogginess.
- Choose ripe, juicy strawberries for best flavor.
- Enjoy cones within a few hours for maximum crunch.
