Ingredients
Scale
- 12 store-bought waffle cones
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 8 oz whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)
- 15 Golden Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, lightly crushed
- 3 oz box strawberry gelatin powder (like Jell-O)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Waffle Cone Shells: Gently warm waffle cones for 10-15 seconds in microwave or 1 minute in a low oven until pliable. Quickly drape them over a taco holder, V-rack, or oven rack to cool and set into taco shapes.
- Master Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice; beat until combined. Gently fold in thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. Chill.
- Craft Strawberry Crunch Topping: In a food processor, pulse Golden Oreos until fine crumbs. Transfer to a bowl. Lightly crush freeze-dried strawberries and add to crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk strawberry gelatin and melted butter; pour over crumbs and toss until coated.
- Assemble Tacos: Fill each cooled waffle cone shell generously with chilled cheesecake mixture using a spoon or piping bag. Gently press or dip the filled tacos into the strawberry crunch topping to coat the filling.
- Chill & Serve: Place assembled tacos on a tray or taco holder and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal firmness and flavor.
