Ingredients
Scale
Peach Cobbler Filling
- 3–4 fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Assembly
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 8–10 mini waffle cones
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Peel and dice the fresh peaches, then place them in a saucepan with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat until the peaches soften and release their juices, forming a warm, jammy cobbler filling. Be careful not to overcook; the fruit should remain slightly intact.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and silky, ensuring no lumps remain. This creamy filling will balance the warm peach mixture perfectly.
- Assemble the cones: Spoon a layer of graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each mini waffle cone. Next, add a generous layer of cheesecake filling, followed by a layer of the peach cobbler mixture. If the cone size allows, repeat layering and finish with a peach topping.
- Chill and serve: Place the assembled cones upright in a container or muffin tin to keep them steady. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set slightly. Serve chilled for a refreshing, handheld dessert.
Notes
- Choose ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overcook peach filling; fruit should be softened but slightly intact.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.
- Assemble the cones gently to maintain neat layers and prevent mixing.
- Use a muffin tin or similar holder to keep cones upright while chilling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- Freeze peach filling and cheesecake separately; avoid freezing assembled cones to prevent sogginess.
- Reheat peach topping gently on the stovetop if serving warm; avoid microwaving assembled cones.
