Ingredients:
- Waffle cones
- Fresh strawberries
- 8 oz. Cool Whip
For the Crumbs:
- Crushed golden oreos
- Butter
- 3 oz. Strawberry jello
For the Filling:
- 16 oz. cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz. Cool Whip
For the Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3-5 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Step 1: Combine the crushed 16-18 oreos and 3-4 oz of butter and mix well. Bake for 5 minutes. Once out of the oven, achieve a slightly pasty consistency with the crumbs. Stir in the strawberry jello and use this mixture to coat the waffle cones.
Step 2: In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream the cream cheese for about 3-4 minutes until smooth and lump-free. Make sure to scrape the bowl’s sides a couple of times.
Step 3: Introduce the sugar and flour, mixing until combined and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and Cool Whip, mixing until you have a smooth and fluffy consistency.
Step 4: Bake the cones for 5 minutes. Once removed from the oven, let them cool before filling each with the cream cheese mixture. Top with freshly chopped strawberries.
Step 5: In a medium-sized bowl, add the powdered sugar.
Step 6: Incorporate the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you attain your desired icing consistency. Blend in the vanilla extract and promptly drizzle over the filled cones.
