Santa Strawberries

Santa strawberries are a fun Holiday snack that your kids will love! Easy and quick to make, super cute, and really delicious.

📝 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

1. 1Wash 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. 2To 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. 3Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a small thick plastic bag with a corner cut off and fitted with a small star piping tip.
4. 4Place the strawberries (bigger parts) on a flat plate. Pipe the filling onto strawberries.
5. 5Top with the pointy part of the strawberry ('hats').
6. 6Pipe some more cream at the front to resemble Santa's beard.
7. 7Pipe a small amout of the cream on top of each strawberry to resemble a pom pom.
8. 8Add 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. 9Take each strawberry in hand and sprinkle the beard with shredded coconut.
10. 10Now they're done, enjoy!
