Description
These adorable Strawberry Santas are the perfect festive treat! Made with fresh strawberries, sweetened cream cheese, and fun decorations, they’re a quick, no-bake holiday snack that delights both kids and adults.
Ingredients
-
12 large strawberries
-
1 cup whipped cream cheese
-
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Decorative red and black icing (for Santa’s hat and face)
Instructions
-
Wash and dry the strawberries. Cut off the green stems to create a flat base.
-
Slice off the pointed tip of each strawberry to create Santa’s “hat.”
-
In a small bowl, mix the whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Spoon or pipe the cream cheese mixture onto the flat part of each strawberry base to form Santa’s “face” and “beard.”
-
Place the strawberry “hat” on top of the cream cheese.
-
Use red and black decorative icing to draw Santa’s eyes, mouth, and buttons on the cream.
-
Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use a piping bag or ziplock with a cut corner for more precise cream cheese application.
For added flavor, use flavored cream cheese or add a pinch of cinnamon.
Best served fresh, as strawberries release moisture over time.
