# What You'll Need:

→ Peach Filling

01 - 2 cups diced ripe peaches, peeled
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
04 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
05 - 1 tbsp cornstarch
06 - 2 tbsp water

# Steps:

01 - Combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peaches soften and release juices.
02 - Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Stir into peaches and cook 1–2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
03 - Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
04 - In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer or whisk.
05 - Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to use.
06 - Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a small bowl until texture resembles wet sand.
07 - Layer cheesecake filling and peach cobbler into each cone. Top with graham cracker crumble and whipped cream. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 hour.

# Expert Tips:

  • The individual portions mean everyone gets their own perfect dessert without fighting over the last square
02 -
  • The peach filling must be completely cold before assembling or it will melt the cheesecake filling
  • These cones are best served within an hour of assembly or the waffle starts to soften
  • If transporting, keep the components separate and assemble on site for maximum crunch
03 -
  • Work quickly when assembling and keep the components chilled until the last moment
