4th of July Cheesecake Ice Cream Cones

This sweet little blog of mine is getting ready to have a redesign. It’s been in the works for a while and I am super pumped for everyone to see it soon! Naturally with a new design, there is a little spring, er um.. summer cleaning to do. I’ve been working on cleaning up my recipe index and tags. If you’re unsure of what those things are, the recipe index is where you can see all of my recipes and search for recipes given a specific category, like cake or cheesecake. Tags are used when you want to search for recipes that use a specific ingredient, like when you want to see all of our recipes that use powdered sugar or cream cheese.

While I’ve been working on all that behind the scenes stuff, I’ve realized that I like to make cheesecake. I also like to make donuts, but I already knew that! So we’re adding another no bake cheesecake recipe to our repertoire. I’m pretty sure I’ve only shared 1 baked cheesecake recipe ever. I’ll have to start adding some more baked cheesecake recipes, but today’s no bake recipe is so easy. No oven, no water bath, no long baking time. You’ll just need a hand mixer!

To make this recipe, start off by making the 4th of july ice cream cones. Take regular sugar cones and dip the tops in melted white chocolate and then roll them in a bowl of 4th of july sprinkles. Allow the chocolate to harden.

Next, using a hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Then fold in the cool whip until combined.If your cheesecake mixture seems to loose, you can refrigerate it for a few hours or even overnight. That will help stabilize it. Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag fit with a piping tip (I used a wilton 2d tip) and pipe cheesecake into each cone. You will definitely want to pipe the cheesecake into the cones right before you plan to serve them. Or take a head count of how many people want a cheesecake ice cream cone and then prepare them.

I added a little blueberry sauce and a maraschino cherry to each one. It’s too bad that blueberries are actually purple, but it’s close enough to red, white, and blue! If you’re looking to buy 4th of July sprinkles, I bought mine on amazon.

I’ll make a mental note to share a baked 4th of july cheesecake recipe next year. We’ll see how many more no bake cheesecake recipes I add between now and then :)
