2¾ cups crushed ice cream sugar cones
2 Tbsp. plus ½ cup sugar, divided
½ cup butter, melted
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water
2 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tsp. butter flavoring
1 tsp. almond extract
1/3 cup assorted sprinkles
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine crushed sugar cones and 2 tablespoons sugar with melted butter. Using the bottom of a glass, press cone mixture onto bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake until set, 12-15 minutes. Cool complete on a wire rack.

In a microwave, heat gelatin on high until melted, about 10 seconds; beat into cream cheese mixture. Fold in sprinkles; transfer filling to crust. Refrigerate, covered, until set, about 3 hours.
Top with additional sprinkles.
