Mini Santa Strawberry Treats Recipe
Ingredients:
- 20 fresh strawberries
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Small chocolate chips or candy eyes
- Red food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the strawberries: Cut the top third off each strawberry and keep the tops for later. Stand the berry bases on a serving platter.
- Make the cream cheese filling: In a bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. If desired, add a few drops of red food coloring to tint the cream cheese.
- Assemble the Santas: Pipe or spoon 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling onto the flat berry tops. Place the reserved strawberry tops on top to make the hats.
- Add the details: Use a small piping tip to pipe a small amount of cream cheese filling onto the tip of each strawberry hat (pompom) and onto the “chest” (button).
- Add the eyes: Use tweezers to place 2 small chocolate chips or candy eyes onto each cream cheese “face.”
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the strawberries until ready to serve.
