Instructions

Make the Crunch Topping: Pulse Golden Oreos in a food processor until crumbly. Add strawberry gelatin mix and melted butter. Pulse until combined and crumbly with a reddish hue. Set aside in a shallow bowl.
Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mix until light and airy.
Prep Cones: Optionally, dip waffle cone rims in melted white chocolate or candy melts. Let set.
Add Strawberry Base: Spoon a bit of strawberry jam or diced strawberries into the bottom of each cone.
Fill Cones: Transfer cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or zip-top bag. Pipe into each cone in a soft-serve swirl.
Roll in Crunch: Gently roll or press the top of each cone into the prepared strawberry crunch topping.
Garnish (optional): Top with a strawberry slice, extra jam, or crushed freeze-dried strawberries.

Notes

To make ahead, prepare the cheesecake filling and topping 1–2 days in advance. Assemble cones the day of serving to prevent sogginess. Store filled cones upright in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Try fun variations with different fruits or swap in chocolate pudding and crushed Oreos for a chocolate version!
