Ingredients

Scale

For the Crumbs:
- Golden Oreos, crushed
- Butter
- Jello strawberry (3 oz.)
For the Filling:
- 16 oz. softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz. Cool Whip
For the Glaze:
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 3 to 5 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Additional:
- Cones made of waffles
- Fresh strawberries

Instructions

Preheat your oven to a low setting, just enough to warm and crisp the waffle cones (about 5 minutes). This step enhances the cones’ texture, making them the perfect vessel for our creamy filling.
Prepare the Filling:
- With a hand mixer, cream the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually mix in the granulated sugar and flour until the mixture is fully combined and frothy.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract and Cool Whip, blending until smooth.
Assemble the Delights:
- After warming, let the waffle cones cool slightly. Fill each cone halfway with the creamy filling, ensuring a generous amount for each serving.
- Top the cream cheese filling with freshly chopped strawberries, adding a juicy, fruity layer to the dessert.
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream (added a spoonful at a time to reach the desired consistency), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the filled cones immediately, adding a sweet finishing touch.
Serve and Enjoy: These Waffle Cone Delights are best enjoyed fresh, allowing the contrast of textures and flavors to shine through. The crisp cone, the creamy filling, and the sweet glaze create a dessert that’s as delightful to the senses as it is to the palate.

Notes

Tips for Perfection:

Cream Cheese Consistency: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending.
Strawberry Selection: Choose ripe yet firm strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
Glaze Thickness: Adjust the amount of heavy cream in the glaze to achieve your preferred consistency – thinner for drizzling or thicker for a more substantial topping.

Embark on this culinary adventure with confidence, knowing that at the end awaits a dessert that’s as satisfying to create as it is to savor. Waffle Cone Delights are a testament to the joy of homemade treats, combining simple ingredients into something truly extraordinary.
