Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 12 large strawberries
- 1 cup whipped cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- Decorative red and black icing for the face
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries: Carefully wash the strawberries.
- Cut the strawberries: Cut the stem off each strawberry to create a flat base. Slice each strawberry into three pieces: the bottom for the body, the middle to remove any extra bulk, and the top for the Santa hat.
- Prepare the filling: In a small mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Fill a piping bag: Carefully transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag for easy application.
- Assemble the Santas: Place the flat side of the strawberry bottom on a plate. Pipe the cream cheese mixture on top of the bottom piece, forming a tall base. Add the Santa hat on top and pipe a small dollop on the tip of the hat to create the white trim.
- Add facial details: Using the decorative icing, carefully draw a face on each Santa.
- Serve or store: Serve immediately or store the Strawberry Santas in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
