Strawberry Cheesecake Cones (Print)

Whipped cheesecake fills these cones, topped with a crunchy strawberry-cookie blend. A quick, fuss-free dessert that’s delicious and super simple to make.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup heavy cream whipped to keep things airy and fluff up the filling.
02 - 8 oz of softened cream cheese that makes everything rich and smooth.
03 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar to balance the flavors with sweetness.
04 - A teaspoon of vanilla extract to bring out the taste.
05 - 1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries giving a fruity crunch.
06 - Golden Oreos, crushed into crumbs (1 cup) for a sweet, cookie-like texture.
07 - 1/4 cup melted butter to help hold the topping together.
08 - 8-10 ready-to-use ice cream cones for serving.
09 - Optional: Fresh strawberries to add as a fancy garnish.

# Steps:

01 - Whisk the heavy cream in a bowl until stiff peaks hold their shape, then set it aside. In another bowl, mix the soft cream cheese until it’s completely smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until everything combines. Gently fold the whipped cream into this mixture, making sure not to deflate it too much.
02 - Smash the Golden Oreos and the freeze-dried strawberries into small crumbs. Stir in the melted butter until the mix clumps together a little.
03 - Fill a zip-lock bag or piping bag with your cheesecake filling. Squeeze it into each cone until it’s full. Dip the cones into the crunchy strawberry mixture, pressing gently to make it stick. Add fresh strawberries on top if you like for a finished touch.

# Notes:

01 - This no-bake treat is quick to throw together and works great as a party dessert or last-minute snack.
02 - Freeze-dried strawberries pack in fruity flavor and add a satisfying crunch.
03 - Let the cones chill in the fridge before serving so the filling is firmer, and the topping stays crispy.
