MINI STRAWBERRY SANTAS

Steps:

• Cut the hulled-side strawberries so they can stand up on a plate. Slice the tip off each strawberry to make the 'hat'; set aside.
• Beat cream and confectioners' sugar in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form soft mounds.
• Spoon a large dollop of whipped cream on top of strawberry base for the 'face' and 'beard'. Set the 'hat' atop the 'face'. Add a dot of whipped cream, using a toothpick, on top of the 'hat' for the 'pom-pom' and 2 dots on the strawberry base for 'buttons'. Place 2 sprinkles on the 'face' for 'eyes'.

STRAWBERRY SANTAS RECIPE BY TASTY

• Squeeze some frosting or whipped cream on the strawberry, and replace the tip.
• Decorate the rest with a piping bag.

• Enjoy!

STRAWBERRY SANTAS

Steps:

• Use a mixer to beat the cream cheese until fluffy and then gradually beat in the powdered sugar on low speed.
• Prepare the strawberries by cutting the stems off to leave a flat surface on the bottom. You will end up with a cone.
• Cut the strawberry ¾ of the way up from the bottom to create a smaller cone that will be the Santa hat. Set the Santa hat parts of the strawberries aside.
• Place the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag with a round tip (I used a Wilton 2A, but any medium to large piping tip will work).
• On the larger bottom part of the strawberry, pipe the cream cheese mixture, creating a large upwards swirl with 2 layers.
• In the middle of the cream cheese swirl, use the black decorating icing to dot two eyes and use a single sprinkle or red/orange decorating icing for the nose.
• Top the swirl with the previously cut off strawberry Santa hat and pipe a dot of cream cheese frosting onto the tips of the Santa hat to create the pom pom (I liked to go in the direction of the strawberry "hat" to make it cuter).

• Press chocolate chips in to pineapple for eyes, pipe cream cheese around top bottom part of strawberry to form fur around the hat, then pipe cream cheese around pineapple to form Santa's beard.
