Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones

For the Peach Cobbler Topping:

• 2 cups (about 3 medium) fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned peaches, drained)
• 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp butter

For the Cones:

• 6-8 sugar cones

Optional Garnish:

• Whipped cream
• Crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar
• Mint leaves

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Cobbler Topping

1. In a medium saucepan, combine diced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the peaches are soft, about 5–7 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. Let it cool to room temperature.

Tip: If using canned peaches, reduce sugar slightly since canned peaches are already sweet.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
3. Gradually add the heavy cream, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off) for easier filling of the cones.

Tip: For a lighter texture, whip the cream separately and fold it into the cream cheese mixture gently.

Step 3: Assemble the Cones

1. Carefully fill each sugar cone with the cheesecake mixture, leaving a little space at the top.
2. Spoon a generous amount of the cooled peach cobbler topping over the cheesecake layer.
3. Optional: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar on top for extra crunch.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

1. Place the filled cones in a cup holder or a muffin tin to keep them upright.
2. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the cheesecake firm up slightly.
3. Just before serving, add whipped cream or a small mint leaf for decoration.

Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones

• Fresh vs. canned peaches: Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but canned peaches work in a pinch.
• Make ahead: Prepare the cheesecake filling and peach topping a day in advance. Assemble just before serving to keep the cones crisp.
• Variations: Swap peaches for other fruits like blueberries, strawberries, or cherries for a different twist.
