Where do I find freeze-dried strawberries?

Freeze-dried strawberries are most commonly found in the health food, snack, or cereal aisles of most major grocery stores. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Target all carry freeze-dried strawberry options. Online retailers including Amazon stock them in bulk quantities most conveniently for large-batch party preparation. Freeze-dried strawberries are significantly different from dried strawberries — freeze-dried are light, crispy, and intensely flavored while dried are chewy and moist.

What shell options work best?

Waffle cones from any grocery store are the most widely available and the most foolproof shell option that provides the most excellent crunch. Flat-bottomed cake cones are the most stable for filling. Sugar cones can be softened in a 300°F oven for 2 to 3 minutes and gently bent into a taco shape while warm, then cooled completely before filling for the most authentic taco appearance.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes. Substitute conventional cream cheese with Kite Hill or Violife vegan cream cheese in the same quantity. Replace the whipped topping with coconut whipped cream. Ensure the waffle cones are egg-free or use certified vegan sugar cones. The strawberry crunch topping uses coconut oil in place of butter. The result is virtually identical to the dairy version in both texture and flavor.
