Ingredients
• 1 pound fresh strawberries (large ones work best)
• 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
• Mini chocolate chips (for eyes)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
1. Wash and Dry: Rinse the strawberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Cut the Tops: Slice off the green tops of the strawberries to create a flat base so they can stand upright. Cut a small piece off the tip of each strawberry to create the “hat” for Santa.
Step 2: Assemble the Santas
1. Create the Body: Place a whole strawberry upright on a serving platter as Santa’s body.
2. Add the Hat: Take the small piece you cut off from the tip and place it on top of the whole strawberry to form Santa’s hat.
3. Add Whipped Cream: Use a piping bag or a spoon to add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the strawberry (the body) to represent Santa’s beard.
4. Add Eyes: Place two mini chocolate chips into the whipped cream to create Santa’s eyes.
5. Add the Pom-Pom: Use a small dollop of whipped cream on top of the hat for the pom-pom.
Step 3: Serve
1. Garnish: If desired, dust with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
2. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your festive Strawberry Santas!
