Eileen's Tips for Success
- Use room-temperature cream cheese so that you get a smooth filling mixture.
- When you are whipping the heavy cream, whip it until you get stiff peaks, so you don't have a runny filling.
- Use a gentle hand when folding in the cream cheese mixture so don't deflate the whipped cream.

Make-ahead, storage, and freezer tips
Storage - You can store the mousse in the piping bag or an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the mousse can be made up to 24 hours ahead. And, you can also dip the cones up to 24 hours ahead. But, I don't recommend filling them until you are ready to enjoy them so that the cones aren't soggy.
