Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
12 large strawberries
24 mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • For the frosting: In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the mascarpone and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the mixture is thick and smooth. Using a spatula, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small star piping tip.
  • For the Santas: Using a paring knife, cut off the leaf-end of each strawberry to make a flat surface. Cut a 1/2- to 3/4-inch piece from the pointed end of each strawberry and reserve as the hats.
  • Place the strawberries, wide-side down, on a work surface. Pipe a 3/4-inch-high swirl of frosting on each strawberry. Place the hats on top and pipe a small ball of frosting on top of the hats. Press two chocolate chips, pointed-sides inward, into the swirl of frosting to make eyes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my strawberry Santas turned out looking like a mess. They were still tasty though!

These were really cute, but they didn't taste as good as I thought they would.

I would definitely make these again. They're a great way to use up leftover strawberries.

I had a hard time finding strawberries that were the right size. I ended up using some that were a little too big and they didn't look as good as I had hoped.

These were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I was a little skeptical about how these would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were really easy to make and they looked just like Santa Claus.
