Ingredients

  • 14 large fresh strawberries about 9 ounces or 250g
  • 1/3 cup cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • small round sprinkles - brown and red for the eyes and nose, or coloring gel, or mini chocolate chips
  • shredded coconut for the beard

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash the strawberries and pat dry. Cut off the leafy ends (cut them off evenly so the strawberries can stand up straight). Cut off a small part of the pointy end of each strawberry - it will be used as Santa's head. Set aside.
  2. To a medium bowl add cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer for 2-3 minutes or until well-combined and fluffy.
  3. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a small thick plastic bag with a corner cut off and fitted with a small star piping tip.
  4. Place the strawberries (bigger parts) on a flat plate. Pipe the filling onto strawberries.
  5. Top with the pointy part of the strawberry ('hats').
  6. Pipe some more cream at the front to resemble Santa's beard.
  7. Pipe a small amout of the cream on top of each strawberry to resemble a pom pom.
  8. Add the chocolate eyes and mouth - I used tweezers to do that and used chocolate round sprinkles for the eyes and red for the nose.
  9. Take each strawberry in hand and sprinkle the beard with shredded coconut.
  10. Now they're done, enjoy!

Notes

  • Santa strawberries are best freshly served or the strawberries will be mushy. You can refrigerate them for 1-2 hours max.
  • Calories = 1 Santa strawberry (1/14 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
