Every now and again you come across a fun dessert that you can’t wait to try, and these strawberries and cream dessert cones is one of them.
Created by chef Will Stewart, a previous My Kitchen Rules winner, cook and food writer, waffle cones are filled with a creamy strawberry-flavoured cheesecake-like filling. So much fun, so much flavour – what a way to impress your dinner guests!
WINE PAIRINGS: For this strawberries and cream dessert, the key is to choose a wine that is at least as sweet as the dessert to prevent it tasting bitter or acidic. Choose aromatic options such as Moscato d'Asti, Late Harvest Riesling or a sweet Australian sparkling rosé, which will all complement the fruit and creaminess. A rich Sauternes, fruit-forward Prosecco or Demi-Sec Champagne will also offer bubbles and complexity for this decadent dessert.

Ingredients
250 g 1/2 lb fresh strawberries, hulled
300 g 1 1/4 cup thickened double cream
250 g 8 1/2 fl oz mascarpone
50 g 1 3/4 oz caster sugar
125 g 4 1/4 fl oz plain yoghurt
12 12 waffle cones
Small mint leaves, to garnish
250 g 250 fresh strawberries, extra, quartered, to serve
Method
- Blitz strawberries in a food processor. Transfer to a sieve set over a bowl and sieve the strawberry pulp, discarding the seeds. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, use electric beaters fitted with a whisk attachment to whisk cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Place mascarpone and sugar in a separate bowl. Using clean beaters, whisk until combined. Add yoghurt and the strawberry puree to the bowl, then gently fold through the whipped cream until well combined. Transfer to a piping bag and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can chill in the bowl.
- When ready to serve, pipe or spoon the strawberries and cream mixture into each waffle cone. Garnish with small mint leaves. Serve immediately with strawberry quarters alongside.
Notes
- If you like, you can stud the tops of your filled cones with the strawberry quarters before serving, or simply let your guests do it themselves.
