Why You'll Love These Cheesecake Cones
- No-bake filling. Just a quick stovetop peach filling and a whipped cheesecake layer.
- Party-perfect. Handheld, no plates or forks needed, and they look like a bakery treat.
- Year-round friendly. Fresh peaches in summer, frozen or canned peaches any other time.
- Kid approved. Let the little ones help sprinkle the toppings (and taste-test, of course).
What You'll Need
- Peaches: Fresh, frozen (thawed), or canned (drained) all work.
- Instant cheesecake pudding mix: The shortcut that makes the filling thick, creamy, and no-bake. Vanilla instant pudding works too.
- Cream cheese: Use full-fat and let it soften to room temperature for a lump-free filling.
- Waffle cones: Sturdy waffle cones hold the filling best. Sugar cones work in a pinch.
- Watkins ground cinnamon and vanilla: The "cobbler" flavor in every layer.

Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones Recipe
No-Bake Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones
Prep: 30 minutes | Cook: 15 minutes | Chill: 30 minutes | Makes: 8 cones
For the cinnamon peach filling
- 4 medium peaches, peeled and diced (about 3 cups), or 3 cups frozen or drained canned peaches
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Watkins ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- ½ teaspoon Watkins vanilla extract
For the no-bake cheesecake filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake pudding mix
- ½ cup cold milk
- 1 teaspoon Watkins vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
For the graham crumble
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon Watkins ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the cones
- 8 waffle cones
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Cook the peaches. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook 5–7 minutes, until the peaches are soft and syrupy.
- Thicken. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook 1 minute more, until thick. Stir in the vanilla. Let cool completely (spread it on a plate to speed things up).
- Toast the crumble. Stir the graham crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter together. Toast in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring, for 4–5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Cool.
- Make the cheesecake filling. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the pudding mix, milk, and vanilla and beat until thick and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Whip the cream. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon into a piping bag or zip-top bag and chill 30 minutes.
- Dip the cones. Microwave the white chocolate and coconut oil in 20-second bursts, stirring, until smooth. Dip the rim of each cone in the chocolate, then in some of the graham crumble. Stand the cones upright in a tall glass to set.
- Layer. Spoon 1 tablespoon of peaches into each cone, pipe in a layer of cheesecake filling, then add another spoonful of peaches.
- Top and serve. Pipe a swirl of cheesecake filling on top. Finish with a few peaches, a sprinkle of graham crumble, and a drizzle of the remaining white chocolate. Serve within 1 hour.
Pro Kitchen Hacks
- ⭐ Seal the cone. Spoon a little melted white chocolate inside each cone and swirl it around before filling. It keeps the cones crisp longer.
- ⭐ Cool the peaches all the way. Warm peaches will melt the cheesecake filling and soften the cone.
- ⭐ Use a cone stand. No stand? Poke holes in an upside-down egg carton or a box, or use tall glasses.
- ⭐ Make it a cheesecake bar. Hosting a crowd? Set out the filling, peaches, crumble, and cones, and let guests build their own.
💰 Budget tip: Canned peaches in juice are often cheaper than fresh and taste great once they're cooked with cinnamon and brown sugar. Stock up when they're on sale!
Make-Ahead and Storage
- Make ahead: The peach filling, cheesecake filling, and crumble can all be made up to 2 days ahead. Keep the fillings in the fridge and the crumble in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Assemble just before serving. Filled cones are best within an hour, before the cones soften.
- Leftover fillings? Layer them in a jar or cup for an easy peach cobbler cheesecake parfait.
Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones FAQ
Can I use canned peaches?
Yes! Drain them well, dice them, and cook them the same way. You may want to use a little less brown sugar since canned peaches are already sweet.
How far ahead can I make these?
Make all the parts up to 2 days ahead, but fill the cones no more than an hour before serving so they stay crisp.
What can I use instead of cheesecake pudding mix?
Vanilla instant pudding works great. For a from-scratch filling, beat 8 oz cream cheese with ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla, then fold in the whipped cream.
Can I make this without cones?
Absolutely. Layer everything in small cups or mason jars for peach cobbler cheesecake parfaits.
