Ingredients:
For the Cones:*
6 waffle ice cream cones
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
6 cinnamon graham crackers, ground into crumbs
For the Peach Cobbler:*
1 large can of peaches in juice (about 29 oz)
½ cup unsalted butter, divided (¼ cup melted, ¼ cup cold and sliced)
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅓ cup chopped pecans
4 cups crumbled butter cake or pound cake
For the Cheesecake Buttercream:*
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 (3.4 oz) package cheesecake instant pudding mix (dry)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Cones*
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth. Using a small spoon or pastry brush, coat the inside of each waffle cone with the melted white chocolate. Place the cones on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
Step 2: Make the Peach Cobbler Filling*
Pour ¼ cup of melted butter into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish and swirl to coat evenly. In a medium bowl, combine the canned peaches (with their juice), brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the crumbled cake, scatter the sliced cold butter over the top, and sprinkle with the chopped pecans.
Step 3: Bake and Cool*
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden and the peaches are bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Step 4: Coat the Outside of the Cones*
Once the white chocolate inside the cones has set, coat the upper third of the outside of each cone with more melted white chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with the crushed graham cracker crumbs. Let set.
Step 5: Make the Cheesecake Buttercream*
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and dry cheesecake pudding mix together until creamy. Add the vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and heavy whipping cream. Beat on high speed until light, fluffy, and smooth.
Step 6: Assemble the Cones*
Pipe a layer of the cheesecake buttercream into the bottom of each cone. Add a spoonful of the peach cobbler mixture. Top with another layer of buttercream, followed by another spoonful of the peach cobbler mixture. Drizzle with any remaining melted white chocolate.
Step 7: Serve*
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Seal the Cones: Coating the inside of the cones with white chocolate prevents them from becoming soggy from the filling.
- Use a Piping Bag: For neat, even layers, transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a large star or round tip.
- Make Ahead: The peach cobbler filling can be made a day in advance and reheated before assembling.
- Customize the Fruit: Try this recipe with apples, berries, or a mix of stone fruits.
- Add a Crunch: Sprinkle extra crushed graham crackers or toasted pecans on top for added texture.
Storage Options:
- Refrigerator: Store assembled cones in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The cones may soften slightly over time.
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the peach cobbler and buttercream a day in advance. Assemble the cones just before serving for the best texture.
Peach Cobbler Stuffed Cones are a creative, indulgent twist on a beloved classic. With their crunchy coating, warm spiced filling, and creamy buttercream, they’re a dessert that will have everyone talking. Enjoy!
