Easy Santa Berries!
I wanted to make something festive, yet on the healthier side, so I found these! They only took about an hour to make a whole tray full, and less than 15 minutes to prep!
Ingredients:
2 packages of cream cheese
4 tablespoons of powdered sugar
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
~ 3 containers of strawberries
Mini Chocolate chips
Sprinkle or food color gel for nose
Directions:
- Wash strawberries, cut off strawberry greens and then cut in half so you have the body and pointy part for the “hat”
- Whip the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla in a mixer
- Taste and add extra sugar or vanilla if desired
- Put the filling in a ziplock and squeeze to the bottom
- Cut the tip off the ziplock to “pipe” out the filling
- Pipe filling in a circle in between the berries
- Put the pointy hat on, use two chocolate chips for the eyes and one sprinkle for the nose
- Put another dab of filling on top of the hat
-DONE! (Keep chilled so the cream cheese doesn’t melt)
