Cost: $4.60 Recipe, $0.38 per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large Strawberries
- 8 oz Cream Cheese softened
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Mini Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries and pat them completely dry.
- Cut off the stem end of each strawberry to create a flat base. Then cut off the pointed tip of each strawberry and set the tips aside to use as the Santa hats.
- Pat the cut surfaces dry so the cream cheese filling stays in place.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
- Pipe the cream cheese mixture onto the larger strawberry pieces to create the Santa faces.
- Gently place the reserved strawberry tips on top to form the hats.
- Using a small piping tip, pipe a small amount of the cream cheese mixture onto the tip of each hat to create a pom-pom and onto the front of each strawberry to create a button.
- Gently press mini chocolate chips into the cream cheese filling to create the eyes.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
