Strawberry Santas
(16 servings)

Ingredients

 24 medium-sized strawberries
 1 cup heavy cream
 1 tbsp powdered sugar
 1 tbsp chocolate sprinkles

Preparation guide

 Slice the tip off each strawberry to make place for Santa’s hat; set aside.
 Whisk the cream and powdered sugar in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form soft mounds.
 Spoon a large dollop of whipped cream on top of each strawberry base for Santa’s face and beard. Set the hat atop the face. Add a dot of whipped cream, using a toothpick, on top of the hat for the pom-pom and two dots on the strawberry base for buttons. Place two sprinkles on the face for eyes (see photo).
 The decoration has to be done carefully for each strawberry.
