Equipment

  • 1 large plate
  • 1 toothpick
  • black food coloring
  • 1 Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 20 fresh strawberries
  • 2 oz. Marshmallow fluff
  • 4 oz. Whipped cream cheese
  • 2 oz. vanilla frosting
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • black food coloring toothpick

Instructions
 

  • First, cut the leafy tops off the fresh strawberries to make a flat bottom and place the flat side down.
  • Second, cut the tip of the strawberries off right above the middle mark and set aside. (About 1/4 from the tip of the strawberry)
  • Third, place the cut pieces of strawberry on paper towels to absorb all the moisture.
  • Next, let them sit on the paper towels for 15-20 minutes.
  • Turn them over and let the second side of the strawberries sit on paper towels to absorb moisture.
  • Then, combine the vanilla frosting, whipped cream cheese, vanilla extract, and marshmallow fluff in a mixing bowl to make the icing.
  • Fill a Ziploc or a pastry bag with the icing to make filling the strawberries easier, and use a star tip to make the right design on top.
  • Next, pipe some icing onto the bottom half of the strawberry.
  • Then, place the tip of the strawberry on top of the icing.
  • ​Using the star tip, pipe one final dot of icing on the tip of the strawberry.
  • Using the toothpick, dip the tip into the black food coloring and make two eyes on the Santa.
  • Place the strawberries in the fridge until ready to serve to preserve the stiffness of the icing.
  • Finally, enjoy these sweet little Santas with your favorite party foods for the Christmas season!
