- Coat the inside of each cone with white chocolate, tapping out excess chocolate.
- Dip the outside of the cone into the chocolate, creating a chocolate rim about ¾” thick.
- Dust the chocolate rim with strawberry crumble and set aside until set.
- Add a spoonful of mashed berries and crumble to the inside of the cones.
- Pipe the cheesecake filling into the cone in a swirl direction. Repeat with the remaining cones.
