These Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cones combine creamy cheesecake filling, crunchy strawberry-cookie crumbs, and fresh berries - all tucked into crisp waffle cones. They’re fun, no-bake, and perfect for parties or a quick summer treat.

Ingredients

• 6 waffle cones

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

• ½ cup crushed shortbread cookies

• ½ cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

• ½ cup fresh raspberries

• Strawberry syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

1.  Make the Crunch Topping

In a bowl, combine the crushed shortbread cookies and crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Mix well and set aside.

2.  Prepare the Cheesecake Base

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined and creamy.

3.  Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

4.  Combine

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy. Avoid overmixing.

5.  Assemble the Cones

Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each waffle cone, filling about ¾ of the way.

6.  Add Fruit and Crunch

Top with chopped strawberries and raspberries, then sprinkle generously with the strawberry crunch topping.

7.  Finish

Drizzle strawberry syrup over the top. Add extra crunch or berries if desired.

8.  Chill (Optional)

For a firmer texture, refrigerate the cones for 15–20 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For extra stability, line the inside of each cone with a thin layer of melted white chocolate and let it set before filling.

• Swap raspberries for blueberries if preferred.

• Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or chill briefly for a cheesecake-like bite.

Perfect For

Parties, summer gatherings, or a fun dessert that looks impressive but comes together fast.

Creamy, crunchy, fruity - these cones are cheesecake joy in handheld form.
