Tips for Success
- Use Ripe Peaches: The ripeness of your peaches will greatly impact the flavor and texture of the cobbler filling. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and fragrant.
- Cool the Filling: Make sure to let the peach mixture cool before adding it to the waffle cones. If the filling is too hot, it could soften or even break the cones.
- Customize Your Toppings: While whipped cream and graham crackers add an extra layer of texture and sweetness, feel free to get creative. You could also use caramel sauce, chopped nuts, or even chocolate chips as a topping.
Storage and Leftovers
If you have leftover peach cobbler filling, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat the filling and use it to make more cones, or even serve it over vanilla ice cream for a quick and easy dessert.
Unfortunately, once the cones are stuffed, they don’t store well as the moisture from the peach filling will cause the cones to soften over time. For the best experience, serve them immediately after assembling.
Variations and Swaps
- Different Fruits: This recipe is highly adaptable. Swap the peaches for berries, apples, or pears depending on what’s in season.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free waffle cones and a gluten-free flour substitute to thicken the filling.
- No Ice Cream? No Problem!: If you don’t have ice cream on hand, simply fill the cones with the peach mixture alone or add a layer of whipped cream to the bottom.
Pairings
While Peach Cobbler Stuffed Cones are delicious on their own, here are a few pairing ideas to enhance the experience:
- Beverages: Serve these cones with a chilled glass of iced tea or lemonade for a refreshing summer combo.
- Dessert Buffet: They also pair well with other light desserts like fruit salads or sorbets if you’re hosting a dessert buffet.
