Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Cones

CSSI Staff Post - March 17, 2021

Who doesn’t love a sweet treat? Chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla treats, they’re all delicious! Remember those strawberry shortcake ice cream bars? The ones you used to buy from the ice cream truck as a kid? Bringing back a lot of good memories, aren’t I? It’s the slight crunchy bits on the outside and that sweet strawberry ice cream in the middle that keeps me coming back! I thought, what if I could make this a lot more fun and a hell of a lot tastier? I’ve given the old-school childhood favorite a new twist, minus the melting!


Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Cones
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients 

Shortcake Crumble

1 each - 6-ounce Box Strawberry Jell-O
½ cup - Flour
¼ sup - Unsalted Butter

1 cup - Powder Sugar
8-ounces - Cool Whip
10-12 each - Strawberries
1 tablespoon - Powder Sugar

6 each - Keebler Waffle Cones

*If the white chocolate is too thick, add melted coconut oil 1 tablespoon at a time until it can easily coat the back of a spoon. 


Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350. In a medium-size bowl, mix strawberry jello, butter, and flour until it resembles crumbs.
2. On a greased sheet tray, place crumbles in the oven until crunchy, tossing every 5-10 mins to avoid a lot of browning.

6. Dice strawberries add to a small mixing bowl, then mash ¼ of the strawberry, leaving ¾ in diced form.
7. Add powdered sugar, then set aside
8. Coat the inside of each cone with white chocolate. Tap out excess chocolate. 
9. Dip the outside of the cone into the chocolate, creating a chocolate rim about ¾” thick. 
10. Dust chocolate rim with strawberry crumble. Set aside until set.
11. Add a spoon full of mashed berries and crumble to the inside of the cones.
12. Pipe cheesecake filling into the cone in a swirl direction. Repeat with the remaining cones.

October 19, 2022 Pumpkin pie is a nostalgic menu item and my personal favorite when it comes to fall and winter menus, as it goes hand in hand with a traditional Thanksgiving or Christmas feast. We elevate the nostalgia by turning this must-have holiday dish into a clarified cocktail that leaves your taste buds as curious as your eyes. We get adventurous as we replace expected visual elements with an ice-cold glass of clarified liquors infused with pumpkin pie. This cocktail defies all visual expectations, while leaving your sense of smell and taste immersed in a seasonally nostalgic experience.

October 19, 2022 Canada is well known for many things. Hockey, snow, maple syrup, and a few other stereotypical but somewhat accurate concepts may immediately come to mind. What you may not know, though, is how invested we are in the snacks that we consume. Compared to the U.S., sure, we are no match for the quantity and variety offered in the land of the free, home of the snacks. However, what we know in our hearts is that Canada has a long-standing, tried-and-true, flawed, yet beloved top-notch snack game. I’m talking about comfort foods that have become so integrated and so established that they are classified as cult-favourites—and no, I did not spell favourites incorrectly. You are about to see a lot more of the letter “U” in this article. Sorry! The great Canadian snack game is easy enough to understand. You think of a flavour and either slap it on a potato or pair it with chocolate. Snacking has always been a huge part of Canadian food culture, but it is only going up from here. To put it lightly, the past few years have been tough on everyone around the world, and Canadians have chosen to increase their spending on snacks by 67% as an indulgence or, personally, as a coping mechanism. In no way, shape, or form am I claiming to be a culinary expert somehow employed in the field of Finance, but I have eaten a lot in my life and right now, I’m the best and/or only Canadian guide you’ve got. Let’s get into the details:
