Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones

ADVERTISEMENT

  • 6 sugar cones (or waffle cones for a different texture)
  • Cinnamon sugar (optional, for coating the cones)

Toppings (optional):

  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Chopped nuts (like pecans or almonds)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Cobbler Filling

Start by making the peach cobbler filling. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches begin to soften and release their juices.

In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Sprinkle this mixture over the peaches, then stir to combine. Continue cooking the peaches for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy. Stir in the vanilla extract and remove from heat. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

While the peach filling is cooling, whip up the creamy cheesecake filling. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice (if using) and continue mixing until well combined.

In a separate bowl, beat the chilled heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy cheesecake filling. Once everything is fully combined, set the cheesecake filling aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Cones

For an added touch of flavor, coat the outside of your sugar cones with cinnamon sugar. Simply dip the cones in a little water or melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, then set aside. This step is optional but adds an extra layer of sweetness and flavor to the dessert.

Step 4: Assemble the Cones

Once the peach filling has cooled and the cheesecake filling is ready, it’s time to assemble the cones! Start by spooning a layer of the creamy cheesecake filling into the bottom of each cone. Then, add a generous spoonful of the peach cobbler filling on top of the cheesecake layer. You can gently press the peach mixture into the cone to ensure it fits snugly.

Repeat with another layer of cheesecake filling, followed by a second layer of peach cobbler filling, until the cone is filled. If you have any leftover peach mixture, you can serve it as a topping or side to the cones.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

To make these cones even more irresistible, top with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, and a few fresh mint leaves for color and freshness. For some added crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts like pecans or almonds on top. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy, fruity, and crunchy textures.
