1 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:
-
12 Golden Oreos
-
1 (3 oz) box strawberry-flavored gelatin (Jell-O)

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Cones & Garnish:
-
6–8 waffle cones
-
½ cup fresh strawberries, diced (optional)
-
Extra whipped cream or cream cheese frosting (optional)
-
White chocolate (for dipping rims)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping
-
In a food processor, pulse the Golden Oreos until coarsely crushed.
-
Add strawberry gelatin powder and melted butter, and pulse again until a coarse crumble forms.
-
Set aside in a bowl for assembly.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
-
In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
-
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently until fully combined and fluffy.
-
Transfer to a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
Step 3: Optional – Dip the Cones
-
Melt white chocolate and dip the rims of each cone.
-
Immediately roll the dipped rims in strawberry crunch topping.
-
Let set for 5–10 minutes before filling.
Step 4: Fill the Cones
-
Pipe the cheesecake filling into each cone, filling to the top.
-
Sprinkle generously with strawberry crunch topping.
-
Garnish with fresh strawberries or extra whipped cream if desired.
Step 5: Serve Immediately or Chill
-
These are best enjoyed immediately for crunch.
-
Or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving if you want a chilled treat.
Notes
Use Cold Whipping Cream – Helps achieve stable peaks for folding.
Don’t Overfill – Fill just to the top to avoid spilling.
Serve Fresh – The cones may soften over time in the fridge.
Chill Cheesecake Filling – Helps firm up the texture for neater piping.
Make Mini Versions – Use mini cones for bite-sized party treats.
