Strawberry Christmas Santas recipe

To make your strawberry and cream Christmas Santas you will need the following three ingredients:

• Punnet of Strawberries
• Whipped Cream (can or fresh)
• Caster Sugar (not in picture)
• Icing Mixture Writing tubes

How to make your edible Strawberry Christmas Santas

Step 1:

Before starting your Santas, squeeze small dots of black icing onto a plate.  Pop this in the freezer for a little while until they are hard.

Step 2:

Wash and cut your strawberries.  Cut the greens from the top and then cut the strawberry point off, as per the picture below.

Step 3:

Lay out the larger section of each strawberry and, using the black writing icing, add two small buttons to each one.

Step 4: 

Whip your cream together with some caster sugar until it is quite firm.  Put the cream in a piping bag and pipe a generous amount of whipped cream onto the top of each strawberry base.

Step 5: 

Add the small pointy base of the strawberry to the top of the cream (so that the strawberry is essentially upside down).  This becomes your Santa hat.

Step 6:

Get your frozen icing dots out of the freezer and carefully pop two onto each section of cream to make Santa’s eyes.  Tip: the icing and the cream will want to melt so it is best to do this quickly and then pop them in the fridge.

Step 6:

The final step in these adorable treats is to add a dob of whipped cream or icing to the top to make the little pom on Santa’s hats.  

Seriously.  How cute are these!!!!  A sure-fire hit, especially for kids, at any Christmas party you may attend or be hosting.
