Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- mini chocolate chips or black sesame seeds (for eyes)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Slice off the leafy end of each strawberry so they sit flat, then cut off the pointed top third of each strawberry to create the Santa “hat.” Using a piping bag or small spoon, add a dollop of whipped cream onto the base of each strawberry to form the face and beard.
- Place the strawberry top back on as the hat. Pipe a small dot of whipped cream on top of the hat for a pom-pom and two small dots down the front for buttons.
- Use mini chocolate chips or black sesame seeds to create the eyes. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Notes:
- For best results, serve within a few hours of assembling to keep the whipped cream stable.
- You can also use stabilized whipped cream or mascarpone filling for longer-lasting Santas.
