Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Peaches
- Peel, slice, and dice the peaches into small chunks.
- In a small pot over low heat, combine the peaches, sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and syrupy.
- Remove from heat and place in the fridge to cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- Mix the Base:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended and set aside.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large bowl, add the heavy whipping cream.
- Use a hand mixer on medium-high speed to whip the cream until thick peaks form. This creates the light and fluffy base for the cheesecake filling.

- Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk and vanilla mixture.
- Use a spatula to combine, ensuring the mixture stays light and airy.
Step 3: Layer the Ice Cream

- Repeat:
- Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with the cheesecake layer on top for a clean, creamy surface.
Step 4: Freeze and Serve

- Once frozen, scoop the dessert into cones or serve as slices for a fun twist on traditional ice cream.
Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones
- Use Ripe Peaches: Ripe peaches ensure maximum flavor and sweetness. If fresh peaches aren’t available, canned or frozen peaches can be substituted.
- Keep It Cold: Work quickly when layering to prevent the whipped cream mixture from melting.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the peach mixture before cooking and adjust the sugar to your liking.
- Customize the Cones: Dip the edges of the cones in melted white chocolate and roll in graham cracker crumbs for an extra special touch.
Creative Variations
- Berry Cobbler Cones: Swap peaches for mixed berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
- Chocolate Lovers’ Dream: Add mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup between the layers.
- Spiced Delight: Mix a pinch of nutmeg or allspice into the peach filling for an extra layer of warmth.
- Coconut Twist: Sprinkle shredded coconut along with the graham crackers for a tropical vibe.
- Caramel Drizzle: Top each cone with a drizzle of caramel sauce for added decadence.
