FAQS
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried strawberries?
While you can use fresh strawberries, freeze-dried strawberries provide a unique crunch and concentrated flavor that enhances the dessert. If you choose to use fresh strawberries, consider adding them as a garnish instead.
How can I store leftover cheesecake cones?
Leftover cheesecake cones can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, it's best to keep the cones separate from the filling to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Can I make the cheesecake filling ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cheesecake filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just fill the cones right before serving for the best texture.
What can I substitute for Golden Oreos?
You can substitute Golden Oreos with any vanilla-flavored cookies or graham crackers for a similar texture and flavor.
Is there a way to make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can use gluten-free cookies instead of Golden Oreos and ensure that the ice cream cones are gluten-free as well. Check the labels to confirm.
