Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large fresh strawberries
- 8 oz (224 g) white chocolate or cream cheese

- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (if using cream cheese)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using cream cheese)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly.
- Cut off the green stems to create a flat base for the strawberries to stand on.
- Prepare the Filling:
- If using white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.

- Place a mini chocolate cup or cookie on a serving tray as the base (optional).
- Pipe or spoon a small dollop of melted white chocolate or cream cheese mixture onto the base.
- Place the flat side of the strawberry onto the dollop, pressing gently to secure it.
- Pipe a small amount of white chocolate or cream cheese mixture on the tip of the strawberry to resemble the pom-pom of a Santa hat.
- Repeat for all strawberries.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the assembled treats for at least 15 minutes to set.
