How to Make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cones

Step 1: Make the Strawberry Crumble

Crush Oreos in a food processor until fine. Mix in melted butter and pulse again to combine. Spread into a baking dish and bake at 375°F for 5 minutes. Remove, and stir in 1 packet of strawberry Jell-O while warm. Let cool completely.

Step 2: Whip the Cheesecake Filling

Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip and blend again until fully incorporated. Set aside or refrigerate.

Step 3: Prep the Strawberries

Option 1: Fresh – Slice hulled strawberries and sprinkle with sugar.
Option 2: Glaze – In a saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Let cool.

Step 4: Make the Glaze

In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable.

Step 5: Coat the Cones

Dip the rim of each sugar cone into the glaze, then roll in the strawberry crumble until fully coated. Set on a tray to dry and firm up (about 10–15 minutes).

Step 6: Fill & Finish

Pipe cheesecake filling into each cone. Spoon fresh or glazed strawberries on top. Finally, drizzle each cone with more vanilla glaze.

Step 7: Chill & Serve

Place completed cones on a tray and refrigerate until ready to serve. These are best served cold and eaten the same day for ultimate crunch and creaminess!

Pro Tips

✔ Let the cream cheese come to room temperature for a smoother filling.
✔ Want extra crunch? Add some crumble inside the cone too!
✔ Use different flavored Jell-O (like raspberry or cherry) for a fun twist.
✔ Make the strawberry glaze in advance and refrigerate until needed.
✔ Use a disposable piping bag or snip a corner off a zip-top bag for mess-free filling.

Storage Tips

  • Refrigerator: Store cones upright in a container or on a tray for up to 2 days.

  • Freezer: Not recommended—cones can get soggy and lose their crunch.
