Ingredients
-
10–15 large fresh strawberries
-
½ cup vegan white chocolate (melted)
-
¼ cup vegan cream cheese (room temp)
-
Black sesame seeds or black sprinkles (eyes)
-
Red round sprinkles or gel (nose)
Instructions
-
Make the filling: Melt white chocolate until smooth. Whisk in vegan cream cheese until creamy. Cool slightly.
-
Pipe bag ready: Transfer mixture to a piping bag with star tip (or use a zip-top bag).
-
Prep berries: Wash, dry, and slice off the leafy tops to create flat bases. Cut each strawberry in half (bottom = body, top = hat).
-
Assemble: Pipe filling on the base half, place the top half as the hat.
-
Decorate: Add two black sprinkles for eyes and one red sprinkle/gel dot for the nose.
-
Serve immediately or chill up to 1 hour.
Notes
-
Dry strawberries well—moisture makes the hats slide.
-
Cut flat bases so they stand tall and steady.
-
Pipe a tiny “glue” dot of filling under wobbly Santas.
-
For variety, try peppermint extract, shredded coconut, or dark chocolate hats.
