My kids and I just returned from our final camping trip of the summer (sad sigh.) This is where I wish I had a little camper so we could camp more than just 3 months each year.
Over the years I’ve figured out what camping meals are good ones, and which ones are just a ton of work. I don’t really like the ton of work ones. When we go camping I want to relax too, not cook and clean all day. Sheesh. Am I right?!?!
I’ve also seen a ton of Campfire Cone recipes out there in blogland. They vary from s’more mixings (marshmallows and chocolate) to fruit and nuts and all sorts of interesting concoctions. But I wanted to do something more than just the traditional s’more. So, what did I do? I added a cheesecake twist to it of course.
I made the cheesecake filling at home before we left and put it in a tupperware bowl and in the cooler. This will make it easier when you are camping and you don’t have to mix it all up.
Simple enough, right? Sugar ice cream cones, marshmallow cheesecake filling, chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers.
Fill your cones up with the marshmallow cheesecake filling and then top with crushed graham crackers.
Wrap your cone in aluminum foil, then wrap a wet paper towel around the foil and wrap in foil again. The wet paper towel prevents the cone from burning.
Now place either near your hot coals or on a campfire grate and wait. Make sure you turn them every so often to get them nice and hot all the way through.
The chocolate melts and the marshmallow cheesecake gets all gooey and absolutely sinfully delicious!
I loved the crushed graham crackers on top too. They stayed crunchy and added a nice texture and flavor. It tasted like you were eating a s’more only WAY better.
We’ve made a lot of pretty delicious campfire desserts, but these just might be my favorite! They were amazing!
Ingredients
- Sugar cones
- Milk chocolate chips
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 7 ounce jar Marshmallow Creme
Instructions
- Mix the cream cheese, sugar and marshmallow creme in a bowl. You can do this ahead of time and take it with you (much easier!)
- Mix your milk chocolate chips in your cheesecake filling.
- Fill each cone with filling.
- Wrap in aluminum foil
- NOTE - If you wrap a wet paper towel around the cone after you wrap it in foil and then wrap another layer of foil on it, the cones won't burn.
- Place on your fire grate and cook for about 5-7 minutes (depending on the heat of your fire.) Rotate a couple of times.
It’s a shame we’re not going camping again until next June. We might have to buy a fire pit to put in the backyard just so we can make these.
These look really good, I would have never thought of that! I am sure this will be a winner in our family!
what an ingenious idea never would of thought of this myself either , repining this recipe I know my nephew would love this. Thanks 🙂
love this and your kids are so cute
Oh my goodness! These look so good! What a great idea for camping!
Wow, coolest thing I’ve ever seen!! Yummy!
Normally I like to stick to classic chocolate or Vanilla flavors, but this looks amazing.
Erin–are those the cabins at Stub Stewart State Park? I love it up there and have been SO tempted to stay overnight! As for the smore cheesecake campfire cone…brilliant!
Blessings,
Aimee
PS: I want a trailer or camper too—we used to have one but no longer do. I miss having one.
Aimee – they are! They are pretty cool. The cabins are great! Close together but we love them. We go every summer. You should do it. The park is wonderful! Thanks for leaving such sweet comments! =o)
looks good
Um, that is a wonderful, smart, fantastic, genius idea! I want to bundle up on a Friday night, watch a movie in the backyard, and roast these babies!!
What a great idea!! Your boy looks like he enjoyed every bite 🙂
Oh, my this looks like fun! After 10 days of camping, I fed my kids s’mores for breakfast. I was done, done, done, done, done. I’ll keep this in mind for next year’s trek.
Mmmm….. these sound so good. Easy to make at home or when camping out. Thanks for the recipe . I am going to pin this and keep it for myself too.
That is such a super idea, and so cute too.
my kiddos would love this, Erin! I’m tempted not to wait for camping to make these though 🙂 I’m sharing this on Facebook today – thanks so much for linking up to All My Bloggy Friends! Have a great weekend! {hugs}
These look yummy I think I will try them on our next bbq
These look great, not going camping any time soon but might have to make some anyway, my son will love them!
How many does this recipe make.
I’m not totally sure since we only made a few each night. I think it made around 10 (depending on how much you add to each cone.) I like them filled to the top =o)
