Ingredients
Peach Cobbler Topping
- 2 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
Cones & Topping
- 6 waffle cones
- Crushed graham crackers, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Make the Peach Cobbler Topping: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the peaches soften and release their juices. If a thicker topping is desired, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water and stir it into the mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cones: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag. Fill each waffle cone about three-quarters full with the cheesecake mousse, then top with a layer of the peach cobbler topping. Add another layer of cheesecake filling, and finish by topping with additional peach compote.
- Add the Final Touch: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers generously over the top of each cone to add a buttery, crunchy finish.
- Serve: Enjoy the cones immediately for a crisp waffle cone texture or chill briefly in the refrigerator for a cooler, creamier dessert experience.
Notes
- For a year-round version, canned or frozen peaches (thawed and drained) work well.
- Assemble cones just before serving to maintain the crispness of the waffle cones.
- Substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, or cinnamon sugar pita chips for a different flavor twist.
- The peach cobbler topping and cheesecake filling can be made up to 1 day in advance and stored separately in the refrigerator for convenience.
