What do you get when you cross an ice cream cone with cheesecake? You get a Trader Joe’s Mini Cheesecake Cone! Yes, you read that right: Cheesecake. In. A. Cone. Though they may look like little ice cream cones, Trader Joe’s Mini Cheesecake Cones are assuredly not ice cream. Made for us in Italy, they are little, hand-held almond Florentine cones (picture sweet, praline-like Florentine cookies that have been rolled up into cones) filled with a thick, velvety-sweet cheesecake filling made from a heavenly blend of buffalo’s milk ricotta & quark cheese (a fresh & tangy cheese with a nifty name.)

Since our Trader Joe’s Mini Cheesecake Cones are so handy for holding, they make an easy anytime snack or after-dinner treat, especially at parties. (It only takes 20 minutes or so to defrost them at room temperature so you can have them ready for your guests before they’ve even finished dinner.)
