Mini Strawberry Santas are a delightful and festive no-bake holiday treat made with fresh strawberries, fluffy whipped cream, and chocolate sprinkle details. These easy-to-assemble snacks look like tiny Santa Claus figures and make a perfect fun dessert for holiday parties or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled

Dairy & Sweets

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Decorations

  • 1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Cut the hulled-side of each strawberry flat so it can stand upright on a plate. Then slice the tip off each strawberry to create the ‘hat’ piece and set these aside.
  2. Whip Cream: In a glass or metal bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and confectioners’ sugar together until soft peaks form. This means when you lift the whisk or beater, the cream will form gentle, soft mounds that hold shape.
  3. Assemble Santas: Place the larger strawberry base upright on a serving plate. Spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of the strawberry to form Santa’s ‘face’ and ‘beard’.
  4. Add the Hat: Place the sliced tip of the strawberry on top of the whipped cream to look like Santa’s ‘hat’. Using a toothpick, add a small dot of whipped cream to the tip of the hat as the ‘pom-pom’.
  5. Decorate Details: Dab two small dots of whipped cream on the strawberry base to serve as ‘buttons’. Place two chocolate sprinkles on the whipped cream ‘face’ to create Santa’s ‘eyes’.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm strawberries for best results.
  • Chill the whipping cream and bowl before whipping for easier and faster whipping.
  • Use toothpicks to help with precise placement of small whipped cream dots and sprinkles.
  • Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until serving to maintain the cream’s texture.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, use coconut whipped cream and vegan sugar.
