Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 Santas
Ingredients
- 12 large strawberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips for eyes
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries, ensuring they are completely free of moisture.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the leafy green top of each strawberry to create a flat base so the strawberries can stand upright.
- In a clean, chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and begin whipping with an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
- When the cream starts to thicken, gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip for more decorative application.
- Pipe the whipped cream onto each strawberry, creating a Santa body shape by covering most of the strawberry, leaving a small portion of red strawberry visible at the bottom.
- Use two small chocolate chips to create eyes on the white whipped cream "face" of each Santa.
- Refrigerate the completed Strawberry Whipped Cream Santas for at least 15 minutes before serving to help the whipped cream set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy these festive, cute holiday desserts immediately.
Tips
- • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before decorating to prevent whipped cream from sliding • Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand for faster, fluffier whipped cream • Use a star-tipped piping bag for a more professional, textured Santa appearance • Chocolate chips work best for eyes when they're small and dark • Prepare these just before serving for the freshest presentation • For extra stability, you can briefly freeze the Santas for 5-10 minutes after decorating • Use room temperature strawberries for the best flavor and texture
