Cheyenne's Notes:

Got this recipe from a Facebook friend and just had to share. Oh so cute and my kiddo's just love them. Fun and festive and so easy that even my 7 year old boys help me make them.

Directions

1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top, (enough for a hat). Clean out the whole strawberry with a paring knife, if necessary (some of them are hollow already. Prep all of the strawberries and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill the strawberries with cheesecake mixture.
3. Once strawberries are filled, top with the 'hats.' Decorate according to photo.
4. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.

Are the eyes black sesame seeds? Is that your own picture?

I used raisins. I just cut them in half, so they would be smaller. The kids LOVED them!

Such a playful recipe, thank you for sharing it with us!

To the person or persons responsible for updating this site, please remove the apostrophe from the title Strawberry Santa's -- this is grammatically incorrect. It should read Strawberry Santas (the term is not possessive).

Love this recipe, just finished making them with my daughter, but the Aussie summer heat 30 degree Celsius meant we had to keep putting the mixture back in the fridge during the process, which meant it was a bit more fiddly but so worth it. Can't wait to serve it to our friends tonight and get them into the festive spirit.

@ Tina no the picture is not my own I got it from my friend who gave me the recipe. I used chocolate chips for the eyes which made them a little bigger but I like barbs suggestion of using chocolate sprinkles. Great idea!! Thanks for sharing it Barb

@ Mika you must be a teacher. I was actually in a hurry when I posted this recipe but you are correct the title WAS grammatically incorrect. So noted and changed.

For people who are looking on how to make the strawberry santa eye's .
I found my santa eye's in Wal-Mart in the Art's & Craft's isle , already made up .I think most store's that carry art's & craft's will have them .If you go to Micheal's or Joanne fabric's they should carry them also . Just ask for the edible eye's. You might wanna get a couple of pacages just in case you need them later .I hope this was helpful .
