Ingredients for Cheesecake Stuffed Waffle Cones 

You only need a few ingredients to make these cheesecake cones. 

• a few waffle cones
• red melting candies
• blue melting candies
• fresh strawberries
• fresh blueberries
• some sugar
• heavy cream
• powdered sugar
• cheesecake pudding mix
• vanilla extract
• maraschino cherries
• red, white, and blue sprinkles

How to Make Cheesecake Stuffed Waffle Cones 

Rinse and pat your berries dry, then slice your strawberries. Add sliced strawberries and blueberries to a bowl and toss with sugar. Refrigerate these while preparing your waffle cones.

In separate bowls, microwave the red and blue candy melts according to the package instructions.

Once the candy melts are ready, dip the rims of each waffle cone in red and blue chocolate about 1-inch down from the top. (You only need a thin layer of chocolate, you don’t need any excess, just enough for the sprinkles to stick to).

Add sprinkles immediately to the melted chocolate, so it doesn’t have time to harden on the cone before adding decorating.

Set these cones upright in a glass or ice cream cone holder and place them in the refrigerator to harden.

Now make the stabilized cheesecake whipped cream.

Add the cold whipped cream to a clean bowl and beat on high for about 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form.

Then add powdered sugar, pudding mix, and vanilla extract to the bowl and continue beating until fully combined, fluffy, and stiff. (Add this whipped cream to a piping bag and cut the tip off or use a large 1A Wilton piping tip)

Now assemble your waffle cones.

Pipe about an inch layer of the cheesecake whipped cream into the bottom of each cone.

Then, remove the berries from the refrigerator. Using a slotted spoon, scoop about ¼ cup of berries into each cone, filling to the top and making sure to drain them well to avoid excess liquid.

Now add a dollop of the cheesecake whipped cream on top and a cherry. (Again, make sure to drain and pat the cherries dry because they tend to have a lot of excess liquid)

Serve these immediately or keep them in the refrigerator, standing upright until ready to eat.

Can you make cheesecake filled waffles ahead of time?

Yes, you can make cheesecake filled waffles ahead of time by preparing the cones, the berries, and the cheesecake whipped cream. Then before serving, you can assemble the cones. That way, they are served fresh, and the cones do not get soggy. 

How do you store cheesecake waffle cones?

These are best prepared fresh, but you can make them ahead of time if you wish; see tips above. They can be refrigerated as leftovers for up to 2 days.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit?

I recommend using fresh fruit instead of frozen fruit to make these cheesecake cones. The frozen fruit will get too soggy while defrosting.
