How to Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones
Step 1: Make the Peach Cobbler Topping
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir occasionally for 5–7 minutes until peaches soften and release juices. If you want a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water and stir it in. Cook 1–2 minutes more. Let cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fluffy.
Step 3: Assemble the Cones
Spoon cheesecake filling into a piping bag and fill each waffle cone about 3/4 full. Add a layer of the peach cobbler topping, then more cheesecake filling, finishing with more peaches on top.
Step 4: Add the Final Touch
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top for crunch.
Step 5: Serve
Serve immediately for a crispy cone or chill briefly for a cool, creamy treat.
What to Serve With Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones
These cones are perfect as they are, but you could pair them with:
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence
- A drizzle of caramel sauce over the top
- Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness
Tips for Success
- Make the peach topping ahead of time and refrigerate—it actually gets better as the flavors meld.
- Whip the cream until stiff peaks form so your filling holds its shape in the cone.
- Assemble just before serving to keep the cones crisp.
