Strawberry Santas With Homemade Whipped Cream
I initially saw this idea on Facebook and decided to give it a try. It was so much fun to make and a perfect snack or dessert. For the eyes you can use mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, raisins or just leave them with the whipped cream. I used semi sweet mini chocolate chips this time.
Making fun food for the holidays is the perfect way to get the family together and share precious moments. Kids and adults will love making these santas. Easy, creative, and so much fun! If you are interested in more fun food ideas this holiday season please see my 16 Fun Christmas Food Ideas post.
You need to rinse your strawberries well and cut around them so the strawberries can stand alone. Then cut on top for the hats. Making the Strawberry Santas will be easy and if you have a ziplock bag, just fill it with your homemade whipped cream and cut the tip.
