The Simple Ingredients
Grab your bowls. This list is short and sweet. You might have most of it already.
- 1 (10 oz) bag of waffle cone chips or flat scoop-style chips
- 1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 oz) tub of frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 (21 oz) can of strawberry pie filling
- 1 cup crushed golden Oreos (or vanilla sandwich cookies)
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed (for extra crunch!)
Let’s Get Cooking! (The Step-by-Step)
Ready? Set. Go. This comes together in a flash. No special skills required.
- Make the cheesecake fluff. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth. This takes just 1 minute.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat again until it’s all combined and creamy.
- Gently fold in the entire tub of whipped topping. Use a spatula and fold until no white streaks remain. This is your no-bake cheesecake magic.
- Assemble the nachos! On a big platter or board, spread out your waffle cone chips in a single layer.
- Dollop big spoonfuls of the cheesecake fluff all over the chips. Don’t be shy!
- Spoon the strawberry pie filling over the top. Let it drizzle everywhere.
- Sprinkle the crushed golden Oreos and crushed freeze-dried strawberries over everything. This is your iconic “strawberry crunch” layer.
- Serve immediately. Grab a chip and dig into the delicious mess!
What to Serve With This Dish
This is a star on its own. But if you want to build a full dessert spread, keep it simple.
Offer a bowl of extra whipped cream for dolloping. Put out some fresh strawberry slices. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side is never a bad idea. For another fantastic berry dessert, our Blueberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake is always a crowd-pleaser.
For drinks, cold milk, coffee, or sparkling water are perfect. They cut the sweetness just right.
Make This Recipe Your Own (Quick Swaps)
Don’t have something? No problem. Make this recipe work for you.
Swap the fruit: Use blueberry or cherry pie filling instead of strawberry. So easy.
Swap the chips: No waffle cones? Use cinnamon sugar pita chips, graham crackers, or even sturdy tortilla chips for a fun twist.
Swap the crunch: Use crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers instead of golden Oreos. The goal is that sweet, sandy texture.
How to Store Leftovers (If You Have Any!)
This dish is best eaten right away. The chips will get soft if they sit.
If you must store it, cover the platter tightly with plastic wrap. Keep it in the fridge for up to 4 hours. The flavors will still be great, even if the crunch softens a bit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I make the cheesecake fluff ahead of time?
Yes! Make it up to a day ahead. Keep it covered in the fridge. Give it a quick stir before you assemble your nachos.
My cream cheese is cold. What do I do?
Speed it up. Unwrap it and microwave it on a plate for 15-20 seconds. You want it soft, not melted. This is a key time-saver.
Where do I find freeze-dried strawberries?
Check the snack aisle or the dried fruit section of your grocery store. If you can’t find them, just use extra crushed cookies. It will still be amazing.
See? I told you it was easy. You just made a show-stopping dessert with almost no work. That’s a win in my book.
