Ingredients

For the Santas

12 pieces Strawberries Choose large strawberries for better presentation.
8 oz Cream cheese Use flavored cream cheese for a twist if desired.
1 cup Powdered sugar Can substitute with blended granulated sugar.
1 tsp Vanilla Add vanilla bean paste for more flavor.

Method

Preparation

Wash and hull the strawberries.
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Cut a small slice off the bottom of each strawberry to allow them to stand upright.
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling onto each strawberry to create the Santa 'hat' and 'body.'

Serving

Arrange on a festive platter. Optionally, sprinkle with edible glitter or powdered sugar.

Notes

These Strawberry Santas taste best fresh. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Prepare the filling a day early for convenience, but assemble right before serving.
