Description
These adorable Strawberry Santas are the perfect no-bake holiday treat! Juicy strawberries are filled with a light whipped cream cheese mixture and decorated to look like festive little Santa Claus figures. They’re fun to make, kid-friendly, and irresistibly cute!
Ingredients
-
12 large strawberries
-
1 cup whipped cream cheese
-
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
-
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Decorative red and black icing (for Santa faces and buttons)
Instructions
-
Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly.
-
Slice off the stem end to create a flat base. Then cut about ⅓ off the pointed end of each strawberry to make Santa’s “hat.”
-
In a medium bowl, mix whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
-
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
-
Pipe a dollop of the filling onto the flat base part of the strawberry to form the “face/beard.”
-
Place the pointed tip of the strawberry on top as the “hat.”
-
Add a small dot of the cream cheese to the hat tip for Santa’s pom-pom.
-
Use red and black decorative icing to draw eyes, buttons, or a belt.
-
Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Make sure strawberries are dry or the filling won’t stick well.
You can substitute mascarpone or whipped cream for the filling.ذ
-
Add mini chocolate chips or edible pearls for eyes if preferred.
