Ingredients for Strawberry Santas
How to Make Strawberry Santas
Prep Strawberries:
Slice the stem end of each strawberry flat so they stand up. Cut off the top third of each berry to create a “hat.”
Make the Filling:
Beat cream cheese, honey (or powdered sugar), and vanilla extract until smooth and thick.
Assemble the Santas:
Pipe a swirl of filling onto the base of each strawberry for the face. Add two small dabs for a mustache and buttons down the front.
Top and Decorate:
Place the strawberry “hat” on top, then pipe a tiny dot on top of the hat. Add two chocolate chips for eyes. Serve immediately or chill briefly.
-
Let the cream cheese soften fully for smoother piping.
-
Substitute honey with powdered sugar for a firmer filling.
-
Add a toothpick if transporting to keep the layers stable.
