Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mini chocolate chips or black sesame seeds (for eyes)
- Shredded coconut or extra cream cheese (optional, for beard or fur trim)
Instructions
- Wash strawberries and pat dry completely. Cut off the leafy green tops to create a flat base for each Santa.
- Slice off the pointed tip of each strawberry (about 1/3 of the way down) to form Santa’s “hat.”
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Spoon the cream filling into a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe a swirl of filling onto the base of each strawberry to form Santa’s “face and beard.”
- Gently place the strawberry tops (the “hats”) back on top of the filling.
- Add a small dollop of cream to the tip of each hat for the pom-pom.
- Insert two mini chocolate chips or black sesame seeds into the cream to make Santa’s eyes.
- Optional: Add a little shredded coconut around the beard for an extra fluffy effect.
- Chill until ready to serve. Best enjoyed the same day for freshness.
Notes
- Best when served the same day.
- Can customize with different toppings.
