Instructions
Crumble:
- Finely crush the Oreos in a food processor.

- Place the mixture into a baking dish and bake at 375°F for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and mix in the package of strawberry Jell-O.
Cheesecake Filling:
- Add 16 ounces of cream cheese to your mixing bowl and beat on high until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Mix in 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix in 8 ounces of cool whip until everything is combined.
Strawberries:
- Choose one of the following options:
- Option 1: Use fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and slice them. Place the slices in a bowl and sprinkle sugar over them.
- Option 2: Create a simple strawberry glaze. Place your strawberries in a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/4 cup cornstarch. Mix well and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Glaze:
- Mix together 2 cups of powdered sugar, 5 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl.
Assembly:
- Dip the sugar cones into the icing, covering the top section.
- Roll the cones in the Oreo crumbles to evenly coat them. Place each cone on a cookie sheet and allow them to dry.
- Once the cones are dry, pipe the cream cheese filling into each cone as the cheesecake base.
- Drizzle the strawberries on top or place the chunks of strawberries inside the cones if using fresh strawberries.
- Finish by drizzling the entire cone with icing.
- Store in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
