Strawberry Cheesecake Cones

No-Bake Strawberry Cone Delights are a fun dessert that mixes smooth cheesecake filling with a crispy strawberry-cookie top. Packed in ice cream cones, they're simple to put together and great for kids' parties or casual get-togethers. Every mouthful gives you a nice mix of sweet berries and velvety filling.

INGREDIENTS

• Cream cheese: 8 oz, softened, creates the base of our silky filling
• Fresh strawberries: for topping if you want (optional)
• Ice cream cones: 8-10, as your serving vessels
• Melted butter: 1/4 cup, holds the topping together
• Golden Oreos: 1 cup, crushed, adds sweetness and crunch
• Freeze-dried strawberries: 1 cup, crushed, brings fruity flavor
• Vanilla extract: 1 tsp, enhances taste
• Powdered sugar: 1/2 cup, sweetens everything up
• Heavy cream: 1 cup, makes the filling fluffy

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 4:

Dunk the tops of your filled cones into the strawberry mixture, pushing slightly so it sticks. Add fresh strawberries on top if you'd like.

Step 3:

Put your cheesecake mix into a piping bag or use a plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Squeeze the filling into each cone until they're full.

Step 2:

Smash up the dried strawberries and cookies into tiny bits. Mix them with your melted butter until everything's coated.

Step 1:

In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until it's thick and stands on its own, then put it aside. In another bowl, beat the soft cream cheese until it's smooth. Add your sugar and vanilla, mixing them in well. Gently fold your whipped cream into the cream cheese until it's all mixed up.

Serving and Storage Tips

• These treats can stay in your fridge for up to 2 days, but they taste way better fresh.
• Let the filled cones cool in your fridge for at least 30 minutes so they firm up nicely.

Helpful Notes

• Try tiny cones for smaller bites that work great at big gatherings.
• Want more strawberry taste? Just add a couple drops of strawberry extract to your filling.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

• Pop the finished cones in your freezer for an hour before eating if you want them extra firm.
