  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  1. Combine:
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Assemble the Cones:

  1. Fill the Cones:
  • Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the waffle cones.
  1. Add Strawberry Topping:
  • Spoon the macerated strawberries and their syrup over the cheesecake filling in each cone.

Add Optional Toppings (if desired):

💡 Notes:

  • These cones are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours.
  • For a fun variation, try using different berries or adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
  • To prevent the cones from getting soggy, you can brush the inside of the waffle cones with a thin layer of melted chocolate and let it set before filling.
