With a crunchy crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and juicy peach topping, these cones are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth in a whole new way.
Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
For the cheesecake filling:
200 g cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
For the peach cobbler topping:
2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
For assembly:
4-6 ice cream cones (waffle or sugar cones work best)
Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the crust:
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon (if using) until everything is well combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of each ice cream cone, using a spoon to gently pack it down. Set the cones aside to firm up.
Make the cheesecake filling:
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and continue beating until the mixture thickens and becomes fluffy. The consistency should be like a thick whipped cream.
Prepare the peach topping:
In a small saucepan, combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch (if using). Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. The cornstarch helps thicken the sauce. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Assemble the cones:
Spoon a generous amount of cheesecake filling into each cone, filling it about halfway. Top with a spoonful of the warm peach cobbler mixture. Continue layering until the cones are full, finishing with a little more peach topping on top.
Chill and serve:
Refrigerate the filled cones for at least 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake filling to set. Garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving for an extra touch of freshness.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: These cones are best served chilled. The combination of cold, creamy cheesecake and the warm, fruity peach topping creates a perfect balance of flavors and textures. You can serve them as a fun and individual dessert at parties or gatherings.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store the cones in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the cone may soften slightly over time, but the dessert will still be delicious. You can also store the cheesecake filling and peach topping separately and assemble the cones just before serving.
