🧾 Ingredients
For the cones
- 6–8 waffle cones
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips (for coating)
For the peach cobbler filling
- 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned, well drained)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the cheesecake layer
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (or whipped cream)
For the cobbler crumble
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla cookies
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Pinch of cinnamon
Optional toppings
- Extra peach syrup
- Caramel drizzle
- Whipped cream
👩🍳 Instructions
1) Coat the cones
Melt the white chocolate chips gently. Dip the inside rim of each waffle cone and let the chocolate flow a little inside to create a seal. Stand upright and allow to harden. This keeps the cone crisp.
2) Make the peach cobbler filling
In a pan over medium heat, combine peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, butter, and vanilla. Cook 5–7 minutes until juicy. Stir cornstarch with 1 tbsp water, add to the pan, and simmer until thickened. Cool completely.
3) Prepare the cheesecake layer
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy. Chill 10–15 minutes for easier piping.
4) Make the crumble
Mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to form a sandy crumble.
5) Assemble the cones
- Spoon a little crumble into the bottom.
- Pipe or spoon cheesecake filling halfway up.
- Add a layer of cooled peach cobbler.
- Top with more cheesecake.
- Finish with crumble, peach syrup, or caramel drizzle.
Chill the filled cones 20–30 minutes before serving for best texture.
🧁 Methods & Tips
- Seal well: The white chocolate barrier prevents soggy cones.
- Cool the peaches: Warm filling will melt the cheesecake layer.
- Pipe neatly: Use a piping bag for clean layers.
- Make ahead: Prepare fillings in advance; assemble close to serving time.
