  • 1 package strawberry wafer cookies
  • 18 –20 golden Oreos Ice cream waffle cones
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

To Prepare Cones

  • Combine strawberry wafer cookies and Oreos in food processor, pulsing.
  • Take a waffle cone, coat it with melted white chocolate, then roll cone cone into the crushed mixture, reserving some for topping. Add crushed freeze-dried strawberries to crumble if desired.

To Make Filling

  • Using a hand mixer, whip heavy cream into stiff peaks on medium-high speed, about 4–5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a separate container, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl with rubber spatula as needed.
  • Add confectioners’ sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold whipped cream into cheesecake filling until combined.
  • Put cheesecake filling into a piping bag. Place some crumble in bottoms of cones, pipe in cheesecake filling, and add fresh strawberry chunks and a few sprinkles of crunch mix. Drizzle with melted chocolate, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
