For the Peach Cobbler:
- 48 ounces sliced peaches with juice
- 1 box cake mix (yellow or white, French vanilla or butter pecan)
- 1 cup butter, salted

For the cheesecake filling:
- 1 cup heavy whipped cream
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ tsp lemon juice
How To Make Peach Cobbler Cheesecake Cones
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare your cones by melting the chocolate at 30-second intervals in the microwave.
- Dip the cone into the chocolate. You can dip just the top, the bottom, or both. Drizzle some chocolate on the inside and spread it around the inside bottom.
- Place your cookies in a food processor and pulse until they’re small crumbs. Dip the cone into the cookie crumbs or sprinkle the cone with the crumbs.
- Spray a 9×13 baking dish. Pour in the peaches with the juice.
- Sprinkle the top of the peaches with the dry cake mix. Melt the butter and drizzle it over the dry mix.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. Pour the heavy whipping cream into a bowl and beat until thick with stiff peaks.
- In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Beat until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture. Grab a cone, scoop alternating spoons of cheesecake and cobbler into the cone.
- Top with a drizzle of chocolate and a sprinkle of crushed cookies.
