Strawberry Cheesecake Santas

These Strawberry Cheesecake Santas are so delicious and look how cute they came out. A great food craft to make with the kids and grandkids. Everyone will have fun making and eating these. 

 

 

Many years ago, around the holidays, my niece Cara (who babysat my son Josh) came by with a container of fresh strawberries and a block of cream cheese.

 She knew I would have vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and mini chocolate chips in the house. 

They told me they were making strawberry Santa hats. So, not wanting to get in their way of creating Santa hats, I left the kitchen and let them have some fun.

Cara knew where my mixers were and everything else in my kitchen and I let them to it and was able to do some work on my blog.

They came out so cute and also tasted delicious.

However, since then, I changed around the recipe a little and made them to look like the whole Santa. Just as cute and just as delicious.

How are these made…

Directions:

  2. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a stand mixer or use a hand held mixture until smooth and creamy and thick.
  3. Cut the top of each strawberry evenly to form the base. Now, cut the tip of each strawberry about ⅓ from the top to form the hat.
  4. Place cheesecake mixture into a Ziploc bag or pastry/piping bag. Push all the cheesecake mixture down to one corner. Snip the end of that corner off.   
  5. Pipe cream cheese mixture onto the base and pipe a small dot for a button as shown.
  6. Place the hat on top and pipe a small dab of mixture to the tip for the hat pom and in the middle of the base as seen in the photos.
  7. Place the mini chocolate chips flat side out in the middle between the base and hat for the eyes.
  8. Best when served immediately or can be stored in fridge up to 2 days
