Description
These No-Bake Strawberry Santas are a festive and quick dessert idea perfect for Christmas parties, family gatherings, or a fun edible craft with kids. Made with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of magic, they’re light, sweet, and adorable. A perfect no-bake treat for your holiday dessert table, and one of my favorite easy snack and holiday food ideas for entertaining.
Ingredients
12 medium strawberries
1/2 cup whipped cream or whipped topping (stiff consistency)
24 mini chocolate chips
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly.
2. Cut off the leafy tops so strawberries sit flat, then slice off the tip to create a hat.
3. Pipe a swirl of whipped cream on the base for Santa’s face and beard.
4. Place the strawberry tip on top as the hat, gently pressing into the cream.
5. Add two mini chocolate chips as eyes.
6. Pipe a dot of whipped cream on top of the hat and optionally add buttons.
7. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
Notes
Use firm strawberries so they hold their shape and don’t leak.
If you’re using canned whipped cream, assemble just before serving.
Stabilized whipped cream holds better if making ahead.
