Ingredients

• 1 cup cream cheese – softened (you can swap with mascarpone for a different taste)
• 1/2 cup sugar – granulated
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon – ground
• 1 cup fresh peaches – diced (or canned peaches, drained)
• 1 cup whipped topping – or homemade whipped cream
• 8 ice cream cones – waffle or sugar cones work great
• 1/4 cup peach preserves – for drizzling (optional but recommended)

Instructions

Step 1:

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 2:

Gently fold in the whipped topping until no streaks remain. This will make your mixture light and fluffy.

Step 3:

Add the diced peaches and gently fold them in. The beauty of this dessert is balancing the cheesecake with the fresh fruit.

Step 4:

Fill each ice cream cone with a generous amount of the peach cheesecake mixture. Don’t be shy, load them up.

Step 5:

If you’re feeling extra indulgent, drizzle some peach preserves on top for that authentic peach cobbler flavor.

Step 6:

Serve immediately or place them in the fridge for a bit to chill. Enjoy your Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones with friends and family.

Nutritional Information

These Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones are a delightful treat, but they’re also rich in flavor. Each cone contains approximately 250 calories, with about 15 grams of fat and 20 grams of sugar. You can enjoy these sweet bites while keeping an eye on portion sizes.

Healthier Alternatives

Looking to cut down on calories? You can use reduced-fat cream cheese or a sugar substitute to lower the sugar content.

Common Mistakes

One common pitfall is overmixing the cheesecake filling, which can make it dense. Be gentle when folding in the whipped topping to keep that light and airy texture. Also, packing the cones too tightly can make them hard to eat, so give each cone some love without overstuffing.
