Description
A festive and delightful treat perfect for the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh strawberries (amount depends on desired servings)
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- black sesame seeds or mini chocolate chips (for eyes)
- small red candies or icing (for nose)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash the strawberries and gently pat them dry.
- Cut the green stems off to make a flat base.
- Slice the top third off each strawberry to create a “hat.”
- Make the Cream Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Strawberry Santas:
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto the base of each strawberry.
- Place the sliced top of the strawberry on top of the cream to form the hat.
- Add a small dot of cream on top of the hat for the pom-pom.
- Add Features:
- Use black sesame seeds or mini chocolate chips to create eyes.
- Place a small red candy or a dot of red icing to form the nose.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are dry before adding the cream mixture to prevent it from sliding off.
- For a festive touch, sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the finished Santas to resemble snow.
- These are best served immediately or kept chilled until serving to maintain their shape and freshness.
