Ingredients
- 8–10 store-bought waffle bowls or pre-made waffle cones
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts
- 2 (8-ounce) packages full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest or 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
- 15 Golden Oreos
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Taco Shells: Gently warm waffle bowls/cones. Shape them into tacos by draping over a baking sheet rim or wooden spoon handle. Let cool and set completely.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla extract (and lemon zest/juice if using) until light and fluffy. Do not overmix.
- Assemble Strawberry Crunch Topping: Crush Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries separately into fine crumbs. Combine crumbs with melted butter in a bowl; mix well.
- Prepare Fresh Strawberry Topping: In a small bowl, toss sliced fresh strawberries with granulated sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
- Assemble Tacos: Melt white chocolate. Dip the top edge of each cooled waffle shell into melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with some strawberry crunch topping. Allow chocolate to set (refrigerate briefly).
- Fill and Finish: Pipe or spoon cheesecake filling into each prepared taco shell. Top with macerated fresh strawberries and a generous sprinkle of the remaining strawberry crunch topping.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for best results.
