Strawberry Cheesecake Cones

An easy and delicious recipe for any gathering or perhaps a Sunday afternoon treat.

You will need:

For the cone:
12 sugar cones or waffle cones
18 vanilla cookies crushed
1/ 2 cup Butter
For the filling:
16 oz cream cheese
8 oz whipped cream
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons icing sugar
1/ 2 cup white sugar
For the strawberries:
1 lb fresh strawberries (or any fruit of choice)
1/2 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
For the glaze:
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 cups icing sugar
6 tablespoons milk

Method:

Cone and crumble – You can crush your cookies in any way you like, then add the melted butter.
Add it to a baking dish and pat with your hand. Bake it for 5 minutes at 375 degrees F. Keep it aside and let it cool.

Cheesecake layer – Take a bowl in which you add your cream cheese. Beat it for 5 minutes and you will see that it has become light and creamy. Add the sugar, icing sugar, and vanilla. Mix it well and then add the cool whipped cream.
Strawberries layer – There are two ways you can make it. First you can use the fresh strawberries and dice or slice them. Place after your cheesecake layer with powdered sugar on them. The other option is to prepare a strawberry glaze. Add all your strawberries to a saucepan and cook them on medium heat. Add the sugar, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon cornstarch (see tip below), and water. Mix it well and keep it stirring and you will see that in a while it will start to get thick.
Remove it from the heat and let it cool.
Glaze/Icing – Mix all the ingredients of glaze in a bowl and it is ready. Assembly of the cones – Start by dipping the cones in the icing or glaze because it gives a sweet taste. You can now roll the cones in the cookie crumble. Make sure that it is even, and you let it dry. Then add the cream cheese filling. After that, you can either add fresh strawberries or the glaze that was prepared above. You can now top it with cookies, strawberries, or any of your favourite sauces. Keep it in the fridge until the cones are cool and ready to serve.

Tip: Add 1 tablespoon corn starch to 2 tablespoons of water and mix until dissolved. Add slowly to the pot, stirring constantly to make sure the mixture thickens. You can also save some time and use pie filling.
