Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract while mixing continuously until the batter becomes silky and evenly combined.
Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture that will give your cheesecake filling volume and airiness.
Fold Whipped Cream Into Cheesecake Mixture: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Take care not to deflate the mixture, ensuring the filling remains airy yet creamy and smooth.
Add Crunchy Toppings: Gently incorporate the crushed graham crackers or your chosen crunchy toppings into the cheesecake filling to add a delightful texture contrast in every bite.
Assemble the Cones: Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each crispy waffle cone with the cheesecake mixture. Top each cone with sliced fresh strawberries and sprinkle some extra crunchy toppings over the top to finish the presentation.

Notes

For best results, chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the heavy cream to help it reach stiff peaks faster.
You can substitute crunchy toppings with crushed nuts, cereals, or cookie crumbs depending on your preference.
Keep the assembled cones refrigerated until serving to maintain filling firmness and freshness.
Use sturdy waffle cones to avoid breaking or sogginess from the moist filling.
These cones are best consumed within 24 hours for optimal texture and flavor.
