01 Step

Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Strawberries: Gently wash and hull the strawberries. Slice a small portion off the bottom of each strawberry so it can stand upright. Then, slice off the top third to create Santa's "hat." Set the hats aside. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 7 mins Whip the Cream: In a chilled glass or metal bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and confectioners' sugar. Using an electric mixer (or a whisk if you're feeling ambitious!), beat the mixture until soft peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape when you lift the beater or whisk, but the peaks should gently curl over. Be careful not to overwhip! (5-7 minutes)

Add two more small dots of whipped cream to the strawberry base to resemble "buttons." Finally, gently press two chocolate sprinkles (or mini chocolate chips) into the whipped cream "face" to create Santa's twinkling "eyes." (5-10 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins Chill and Serve: Place the finished Strawberry Santas on a platter and chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the whipped cream to set slightly. (15 minutes)

For a dairy-free version, use coconut whipped cream.
Feel free to add a drop of vanilla extract to the whipped cream for extra flavor.
If you don't have confectioners' sugar, granulated sugar can be used, but the texture might be slightly different.
Get creative with the decorations! Use different colored sprinkles, edible glitter, or even tiny candy canes.

    So cute and festive! I used mini chocolate chips for the eyes, which was a fun twist.
