Mini cheesecake cones sweetened with raspberry jam are a quick and easy dessert for your holiday barbecue.

Simple Mini Cheesecake Cones

Happy Memorial Day! Hopefully the rain isn’t washing away your holiday plans. But even if you need to bring the gang indoors, these mini cheesecake cones will keep the party spirit alive. They whip up in minutes, make a cute display and since each one is only a bite or two, they’re practically guilt-free.

I love mini cones filled with tartare, salmon mousse or whipped cheese and herbs for savory appetizers, but I rarely make a sweet version. Silly right? Mini waffle cones are a perfect addition to a dessert table or can be a versatile and adaptable dessert to serve to a crowd. You can find mini cones and mini cone holders on Amazon or in restaurant supply stores, but sometimes I step out of the box and display them nestled in a dish filled with sprinkles.

Simple Mini Cheesecake Cones

Mini cheesecake cones are an easy substitution for ice cream at your next summer barbecue. You get the feeling of an ice cream cone, without worrying about it melting before you take a bite. They can be filled with lemon mousse, whipped chocolate ganache or how about a s’mores cone?

I’m planning to serve a few different versions, both sweet and savory at tART, an event I’m co-hosting this coming Saturday in Maplewood. I’ll be sharing some recipes and tasty bites of elegant party food, as well as a couple of yummy summer cocktails . If you’re in the area I hope you’ll stop by to see these mini cones in action and say hello in person.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the men and women that have served in the military both past and present on this very special holiday. It’s easy to get caught up in the day off from work and school, a lazy afternoon to relax at the beach or host an outdoor barbecue and lose focus of what today really means. I am truly grateful to those that have given their lives for our freedom and the sacrifices that both they and their families have had to endure. I will be raising my glass today to honor our heroes and give thanks for their selfless acts of bravery.

    What adorable, little desserts! I love that they can be made ahead so there is less stress during the party getting the dessert out. And the berries on top make them look very inviting. 🙂

    How far in advance can these be made without the cones getting soggy?

      The cones can be filled and displayed at room temperature for about an hour. I like to replenish the display and keep a piping bag of the cheesecake mixture handy in the refrigerator for easy refills.

    I need to make at least 24 for our party tomorrow. How many does this recipe yield (8oz of cream cheese)?

      Sorry for the late reply! I changed to a new recipe plugin and it deleted the serving info. The recipe yields 50 mini cones, I’ve since updated it. Hope it worked out for your party!

    Can you make the cream cheese and fill the pastry bag a day at a time and keep it in the fridge or will it go flat

      The cream cheese mix will keep for several hours in the refrigerator, 4-6 hours. Then pipe to serve.

      Pidy is the brand I’ve used which used to be available on Amazon. I believe they’re 2 1/2 inches tall.
