Ingredients
12 large strawberries
4 oz whipped cream cheese
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
24 mini chocolate chips (or use black decorating gel)
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the strawberries completely. Cut off the leafy tops so they stand upright, then slice off the pointed end to create Santa’s hat.
2. In a small bowl, mix whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
3. Using a piping bag or spoon, place a dollop of the cream mixture on top of the base of the strawberry.
4. Add the pointed top back on to form Santa’s hat.
5. Pipe a small dot of the cream on the tip of the hat as the pom-pom.
6. Use two mini chocolate chips or black icing to create eyes on each Santa face.
7. Chill the assembled Santas in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes before serving to help them set.
Notes
Serve these the same day for best freshness.
You can prep the filling and strawberries separately ahead of time.
Mini chocolate chips work better than large ones for Santa’s eyes.
