Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones (Printable Version)

Crunchy waffle cones stuffed with creamy cheesecake mousse and cinnamon-spiced peach filling for the ultimate summer treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Peach Filling

01 - 2 cups diced ripe peaches, peeled
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

→ 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

→ Assembly

11 - 8 large waffle cones
12 - 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
13 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
14 - Whipped cream for topping

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until peaches soften and release juices.
02 - Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Stir into peaches and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
03 - Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until fluffy.
04 - Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a small bowl. Stir until texture resembles wet sand.
05 - Layer cheesecake filling and peach cobbler into each cone. Repeat layers if desired. Top with graham cracker crumble and whipped cream.
06 - Serve immediately for maximum crunch. Alternatively, refrigerate assembled cones for up to 1 hour before serving.

# Expert Insights:

  • The contrast between cold creamy cheesecake and warm spiced peaches creates that perfect dessert moment
  • Handheld portions mean everyone can grab one and mingle instead of being stuck with a plate and fork

  • That peach filling needs to be completely cool before you layer it or your cheesecake will melt into a sad puddle
