Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Cones

Our kiddos- even though many of them are in their late-teens- still run to the windows when they hear the jingle of the ice cream truck. Even my taste-buds perk up when I see them driving through our neighborhood and I ask one of the kids to grab me something if they run out to it. I always- always– ask them to grab me those delicious strawberry crunch bars they seem to stock.

The bars are good- great even- but lately I’ve been wanting something a bit more. You know how much we love our cheesecakes here on the blog, and I had to bring in my love of the strawberry crunch bars into the mix. The result? This fun dessert cheesecake that I’m certain you all with love!

To make this cake, we used ideas from our No Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake– we subbed orange out for strawberry and made other small changes. We also pulled the “crunch topping” from our Strawberry Crunch Bar Ice Cream Cake to add another layer of deliciousness to this fun dessert! On top of all that, we decided to make this a layered dessert to make this even more interesting.
