Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones are the perfect summer dessert, blending the creamy texture of cheesecake with the sweet, tangy flavor of peaches and a satisfying crunch from a crumble topping. I first made these for a family gathering, and they quickly became a favorite. The balance between the creamy cheesecake filling, the cinnamon-scented peaches, and the crisp, buttery crumble topping creates a combination that is both indulgent and refreshing.

Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup whipped topping
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Peach Topping:

• 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

For the Cones:

• 6 waffle cones

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
   In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
   Add the powdered sugar, whipped topping, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until the filling is creamy and well combined.
   Spoon the cheesecake filling into a piping bag and refrigerate it while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Make the Peach Topping:
   In a medium pan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
   Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are tender, and the mixture thickens slightly.
   Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
3. Prepare the Crumble Topping:
   In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until the mixture becomes crumbly.
   Spread the crumble topping on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
   Remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
4. Assemble the Cones:
   Take your chilled piping bag filled with cheesecake filling and pipe it into each waffle cone, filling them generously.
   Top each cone with a spoonful of the peach topping, ensuring the peaches are evenly spread out.
   Sprinkle the crumble topping over the peaches for an extra crunch.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   Serve the Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones immediately for a crispy cone, or refrigerate them for a chilled treat. Enjoy the delicious combination of creamy, sweet, and crunchy textures!

Additional Tips

1. Use Fresh or Canned Peaches: Both fresh and canned peaches work well in this recipe, but fresh peaches will add a slightly fresher, juicier texture.

3. Customize the Flavors: Add a dash of vanilla extract to the peach topping or use different spices, such as ginger or cloves, for a unique twist.

Recipe Variations

• Berry Cobbler Cheesecake Cones: Swap the peaches for mixed berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for a berry-infused version of this dessert.
• Caramelized Peach Topping: Instead of simply cooking the peaches with sugar and cinnamon, you can caramelize them by cooking the peaches in butter and brown sugar until they get a golden, syrupy coating.
• Gluten-Free Version: Use gluten-free waffle cones and ensure the crumble topping is made with gluten-free flour.
• Vegan Version: Replace the cream cheese and whipped topping with dairy-free alternatives and the butter in the crumble with a non-dairy butter substitute.
• No-Bake Version: Skip the oven and make the crumble topping by using crushed graham crackers mixed with melted butter for a no-bake version of this dessert.

Serving Suggestions

• With Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of fresh whipped cream on top for added richness and a light finish.
• With Ice Cream: Serve with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, like vanilla, cinnamon, or even peach sorbet for a refreshing contrast.
• As a Party Platter: Serve the cones on a large platter with a side of dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or vanilla syrup for variety.
• For a Full Meal: Pair these cones with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. These cones can also be enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee or iced tea for a more relaxing dessert experience.

Freezing and Storage

• Storage: If you have leftovers, you can store the cones in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. The cones will become a bit soggy over time, so it’s best to serve them fresh.
• Freezing: Freezing these cones is not recommended once they are assembled, as the waffle cones can get soggy from the filling. However, you can freeze the cheesecake filling and peach topping separately and assemble the cones fresh when you’re ready to serve.
• Make-Ahead: You can make the cheesecake filling, peach topping, and crumble a day in advance and store them separately in the fridge. Assemble just before serving to keep the cones crispy.
