Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones (Printable Version)
Crunchy cones layered with creamy cheesecake filling and sweet cinnamon peach topping
# What You Need:
→ For the Peaches
01 - 2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced (about 3 large)
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
04 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
06 - 2 tablespoons water
→ For the Cheesecake Filling
07 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
08 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
→ For the Cones
11 - 8 large waffle cones
→ Optional Toppings
12 - 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
13 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
14 - Whipped cream for topping
# How-To Steps:
01 - Combine diced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes until peaches begin to soften and release their natural juices.
02 - Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the simmering peaches, stirring constantly. Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until the filling thickens noticeably. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
03 - Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until completely smooth and creamy. Ensure no lumps remain in the mixture.
04 - In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. The cream should hold its shape when the whisk is lifted.
05 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Incorporate slowly to maintain the airy texture until fully combined and fluffy.
06 - Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a small bowl. Stir until the mixture reaches the consistency of wet sand and all crumbs are evenly coated.
07 - Spoon a layer of cheesecake filling into the bottom of each waffle cone. Add a spoonful of cooled peach cobbler filling on top. Repeat layering if space permits. Finish with graham cracker crumble and a dollop of whipped cream.
08 - Serve immediately for optimal crunch. Alternatively, refrigerate assembled cones for up to 1 hour before serving, though extended refrigeration may cause cones to become soggy.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- No forks required means more mingling and less cleanup at parties
- The warm spiced peaches against cold creamy cheesecake creates the perfect temperature contrast
02 -
- Completely cooled peach filling prevents the cheesecake layer from melting and separating
- Assemble these within an hour of serving or the cones will lose their signature crunch
03 -
- Pat diced peaches dry before cooking if they seem extra juicy to prevent watery filling
- Toast the graham cracker crumbs in a dry pan for 2 minutes to deepen their flavor
