- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice - 1 cup cream cheese, softened - 1/2 cup powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 1 cup heavy whipping cream - 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers - 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes - 4 sugar cones Gathering the right ingredients is key to making Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cones. You need fresh strawberries to get that sweet and tangy taste. Start with 1 cup of fresh strawberries. Dice them up, so they mix well with the other ingredients. Then, add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. This sugar helps the strawberries release their juices. Also, include 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice for a little zing. Next, we move to the cheesecake mixture. Take 1 cup of cream cheese and let it soften. This makes it easy to mix. To this, add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. This sugar gives a sweet taste without being gritty. Don't forget 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for flavor. Finally, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until it’s fluffy. This will make your cheesecake light and airy. Now, we need crunchy toppings. For that, grab 1/2 cup of crushed graham crackers. They add a great texture. Next, get 1/4 cup of toasted coconut flakes. They bring a nice crunch and flavor. Lastly, you need 4 sugar cones. These hold everything together and are fun to eat. For the full recipe, check out the complete instructions. Enjoy gathering these tasty ingredients! To start, we need to prepare the strawberries. First, we mix the diced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. This process is called maceration. It helps the strawberries soften and brings out their sweet juice. Let them sit for about 10 minutes. You will notice how much more flavor they gain during this time. Now, we move on to the cheesecake filling. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. You can use an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk. Next, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Keep mixing until everything is well combined and fluffy. This step is key for a rich and creamy filling. In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip it until stiff peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape well. Be careful not to over-whip. If you do, it can turn into butter, and we don’t want that! Next, we need to combine our ingredients. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. This keeps the filling light and airy. Then, take the macerated strawberries and carefully fold them into the cheesecake filling. Ensure they are evenly mixed for the best flavor in every bite. Now, it’s time to fill the cones! Take each sugar cone and fill it generously with the cheesecake mixture. You can use a spoon, but a piping bag gives more control and looks nicer. Once filled, sprinkle some crushed graham crackers and toasted coconut flakes on top. This adds a lovely crunch and appearance. You can serve the cones right away for the best taste. If you want, refrigerate them for up to 30 minutes. This will chill them and help the filling firm up a bit. For a fun touch, garnish each cone with a fresh strawberry on top. This adds color and freshness to your delightful treat. For the full recipe, check the details provided earlier. To ensure a light and airy texture, mix the cream cheese until smooth. It should feel soft and fluffy. When adding the whipped cream, fold it in gently. This keeps air in the mixture. For sweetness, taste your filling. If you prefer it sweeter, add more powdered sugar. You can adjust this based on your own taste. For the best flavor, choose fresh sugar cones. They should be crispy and sturdy. If you can't find sugar cones, consider waffle cones or even edible cookie cups. Both options work well and add a fun twist. Get creative with serving your cheesecake cones. You can place them upright in a tall glass or a fun cone holder. This adds height and interest to your dessert table. For decoration, sprinkle extra crushed graham crackers on top. You can also add a fresh strawberry or a mint leaf for color. These small touches make your dessert look extra special. {{image_4}} You can change the fruit in this recipe. Try using blueberries or raspberries instead of strawberries. Each fruit adds a unique twist. You can also mix in flavored extracts. A hint of almond or lemon extract can elevate your cones. If you want a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese. It still gives a creamy texture but cuts down on fat. You can also swap out regular sugar for sugar substitutes. This change works well for those watching their sugar intake. These cheesecake cones pair nicely with fresh fruit salad or a scoop of sorbet. You can serve them with a sweet tea or sparkling water for a refreshing drink. For special occasions, try displaying them on a colorful platter. Add a few bright flowers to make it festive. You can find the full recipe to get started. To keep your cheesecake cones fresh, store them in the fridge. Place them in an airtight container to prevent drying out. Ideally, enjoy them within two days for the best taste and texture. You can freeze cheesecake cones, but it's best to store the filling and cones separately. Place the filling in a container and freeze it. For the cones, wrap them in plastic wrap. To thaw, move the filling to the fridge overnight. When you're ready, fill the cones for a fresh treat. If you want to serve your cones later, avoid reheating them in the microwave. This can make the cones soggy. Instead, let them sit at room temperature for a bit before serving. This keeps the texture intact and ensures they taste great. Yes, you can make the filling ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to two days. Just give it a good stir before using. This makes it easy for busy days! If you can't find sugar cones, don't worry! You have options. Look for waffle cones or even chocolate cones. They add a fun twist to your dessert. You can also use small cups if all else fails. To keep your cones crispy, fill them just before serving. You can also coat the inside with chocolate. Let it harden before filling. This creates a barrier against moisture and keeps your cones crunchy. Yes, you can use frozen strawberries! Thaw them first and drain any excess juice. They will still add great flavor. Just remember, they might be a bit softer than fresh ones. Serve the cones upright in a tall glass for a fun display. You can also add a fresh strawberry on top for color. If you want a chill treat, refrigerate them for 30 minutes before serving. This makes them extra refreshing!

Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes

4 sugar cones

Instructions
 

In a small mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the strawberries, then let them sit for about 10 minutes. This process, known as maceration, allows the strawberries to soften and release their natural juices, enhancing their flavor.

    In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk until it becomes smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well combined and fluffy.

      In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream and whip it using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as this can lead to butter formation.

        Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, ensuring it is fully incorporated to maintain the light and airy texture of the filling.

          Once the strawberries have macerated, carefully fold them into the cheesecake filling, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

            Take each sugar cone and fill it generously with the cheesecake mixture. You can use a spoon for this, but a piping bag will give you more precision and a neater appearance.

              Top each filled cone with a generous sprinkling of crushed graham crackers and toasted coconut flakes, creating a delightful crunch on top.

                Serve the cones immediately for the best experience, or if preferred, refrigerate them for up to 30 minutes prior to serving to let them chill and firm up slightly.
