Scrape the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 8 oz Cool Whip until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cones: Once the coated waffle cones have cooled, fill each with the cheesecake mixture. Top with freshly chopped strawberries for a burst of freshness.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine 1.5 cups powdered sugar with 3–5 tablespoons heavy cream, adding the cream gradually until your desired glaze consistency is achieved. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Drizzle the glaze over the filled cones for a sweet finishing touch.
