Instructions

Start by placing your softened cream cheese in a large glass bowl. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk, beat it with the powdered sugar until it is light and holds its shape. Add the egg and half of the vanilla extract, continuing to mix until the batter is smooth and free of any lumps. Fold in your finely diced peaches with a gentle hand.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine your 2 cups diced peaches, lemon juice, brown sugar, remaining vanilla, and cinnamon. Let them simmer together for about five to seven minutes until the fruit softens. Mix the cornstarch with the cold water to make a slurry, then stir it into the pan. Once it thickens into a glossy compote, set it aside to cool completely.
Melt your white chocolate chips slowly. Use a small spoon to coat the inside of each waffle cone or cone bowl. Place them in a holder or a tall glass so they stay upright while the chocolate sets into a firm shell.
Once the chocolate is firm, pipe a generous layer of the cheesecake filling into the bottom of each cone. Follow this with a spoonful of the cooled peach compote. Add another layer of the cheesecake mixture on top to seal the fruit inside.
Use any remaining white chocolate to drizzle over the tops. Place the assembled cones in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes to let everything set and become firm before serving.

Notes

To achieve the best flavor, allow the cones to chill for at least two hours rather than the minimum 30 minutes, as this allows the flavors of the compote and the cheesecake to meld fully. If you are preparing these ahead of time, they store beautifully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For a celebratory twist, try dipping the rim of the cone in melted chocolate and then rolling it in colorful sanding sugar before filling.
