    • Cream cheese
    • Heavy whipping cream

    How to Make Cheesecake Cones

    There are three parts to this recipe - making cheesecake mousse, dipping ice cream cones in chocolate and sprinkles, and assembling the dessert.

    How to Make Cheesecake Mousse

    Cheesecake mousse steps.
    1. Place the heavy cream in a mixing bowl.
    2. Beat at high speed until it forms stiff peaks.
    3. In a separate bow, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
    4. Beat until fluffy.
    5. Fold in half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth then add the remaining whipped cream.
    6. Blend thoroughly then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

    How to Make Chocolate Dipped Cones

    How to make chocolate dipped ice cream cones.
    1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals on high, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Dip each ice cream cone into the white chocolate to about 1 ½ inches deep. Let the excess drip off.
    2. Roll the outside of the cone in the sprinkles that have been spread on a flat plate.
    3. Repeat with the remaining cones, setting them on waxed paper, and allowing them to harden.

    Assembling the Cones

    Steps to assemble cheesecake stuffed cones.
    1. When you are ready to assemble, remove the cheesecake mousse from the refrigerator and fill a piping bag that is fitted with a star tip. You can also use a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Fill the ice cream cones with the cheesecake mousse in swirls. You want it to resemble a soft-serve ice cream cone.
    2. Sprinkle the top of the cheesecake stuffed cones with extra sprinkles.

    Eat right out of the cones or dig in with a spoon. It's all good!

    Recipe Variations

    You can make these tasty cones with a fruity touch, different colors for celebrating other holidays, or chocolate:

    • Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cones - Combine 1 cup of finely crushed white Oreos with 1 cup of freeze-dried strawberry powder (process freeze-dried strawberries in a processor until ground into a powder). Use this mixture instead of sprinkles. You can also make extra and stir the crunch mixture into the mousse.
    • Christmas Cheesecake Cones - Use red and green sprinkles.
    • St. Patrick's Day Mousse Cones - Make Irish coffee mousse and dip the cones in green sprinkles.
    • Easter Cheesecake Cones - Use pastel sprinkles.
    • Halloween Cheesecake Cones - Use orange, green, and purple sprinkles.
    • Valentine's Day Cheesecake Cones - Use red sprinkles.
    • Chocolate Mousse Cones - Make chocolate mousse and dip the cones in regular chocolate instead of white chocolate.

    How to Store and Freeze

    It is best to store the mousse and cones separately.

    Storing Mousse: Place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Freezing Mousse: Place it in a freezer-safe container and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight.

    Storing Chocolate Dipped Cones: Place them in an airtight container and store them in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks.
