# What You’ll Need:
→ Fruit
01 -
1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
→ Whipped Cream
02 -
½ cup heavy whipping cream
03 -
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Decoration
05 -
Mini chocolate chips for eyes
06 -
Red and green sprinkles, optional, for buttons
07 -
Powdered sugar, optional, for dusting
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Hull each strawberry by removing the leafy top, then slice off the pointed tip to create a flat surface for the Santa hat, separating into a larger bottom portion and a smaller pointed top. Set aside.
02 -
In a chilled bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overwhip.
03 -
Transfer whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a round or star tip. Pipe a generous swirl onto the flat surface of the larger strawberry piece to form Santa's fluffy body and beard.
04 -
Place the smaller strawberry tip on top of the whipped cream swirl, pressing gently to secure without flattening the cream. Add a small dollop of whipped cream at the top to create Santa’s pom-pom.
05 -
Press mini chocolate chips gently into the whipped cream for eyes. Optionally, add red and green sprinkles down the front to represent buttons.
06 -
Lightly sift powdered sugar over the completed Santas for a festive snowy effect. Arrange for serving.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Select strawberries with wide bases and vivid red color for the best appearance. To stabilize whipped cream, consider adding 1 tablespoon instant pudding mix or 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
