Preparation

Making the Filling
  1. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with remaining powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Assembling the Cones
  1. Fill each cone with the cheesecake filling, leaving space at the top.
  2. In a small bowl, mix diced strawberries with strawberry jam until well-coated.
  3. Top each filled cone with the strawberry mixture.
Serving

Notes

Experiment with different fruit toppings, and consider using a piping bag for easier filling. Prepare the filling ahead of time and fill cones just before serving to maintain crunch.
