Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (cold)
- 1 cup Confectioner’s Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (preferably pure)
- ½ tsp Lemon Juice (fresh preferred)
Peach Cobbler
- 48 oz Sliced Peaches (with juice)
- 1 box Cake Mix (yellow or white)
- 1 cup Butter (salted)
- 1½ tsp Cinnamon
Other Ingredients
- 12 Waffle Cones
- 16 oz Cream Filled Cookies (crushed)
- Melted Chocolate (for dipping and drizzling)
- 3 tbsp Whipped Cream (for garnish)
- Cookie Crumbs (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Chocolate Dipping: Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth and glossy. Dip the top halves of your waffle cones into the melted chocolate and set aside to harden.
- Cookie Crumbs: Crush the cream-filled cookies into fine crumbs; these will be used for garnish.
- Prepare Peach Cobbler: Pour the sliced peaches along with their juice into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the peaches, then drizzle the melted butter across the top. Optionally, sprinkle 1½ tsp of cinnamon to add warmth to the cobbler. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the mixture is bubbly.
- Whip Cream: Using a mixer, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form to create a fluffy texture for the cheesecake filling.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until smooth, then gently fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
- Assemble Cones: Once the peach cobbler has cooled slightly, carefully fill each chocolate-dipped waffle cone in layers with cheesecake filling and baked peach cobbler mixture, creating alternating layers for optimal flavor and texture balance.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle melted chocolate over the filled cones and sprinkle with the crushed cookie crumbs. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top if desired. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor in the cheesecake filling.
- Let the peach cobbler cool slightly before layering to prevent the cones from becoming soggy.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
- Chocolate dipping can be skipped if preferred; instead, sprinkle cones with cookie crumbs for added texture.
- These cones serve best immediately after assembly for the crunchiest texture; if refrigerated, the cones may soften.
