Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Base
- 1 plain cheesecake (homemade or store-bought)
Topping
- 1 1/2 cups whipped cream or Cool Whip
- 12 strawberries, tops sliced off
Instructions
- Cut Cheesecake Bites: Using a round biscuit cutter, punch holes out of the cheesecake to create bite-sized rounds. Depending on the size of your cheesecake, you should be able to get between 8 and 12 bites.
- Prepare Whipped Cream: Transfer the whipped cream or Cool Whip into a piping bag for easy application.
- Pipe Whipped Cream on Cheesecake: Pipe a generous layer of whipped cream on top of each cheesecake bite to mimic the white trim of Santa’s hat.
- Add Strawberry Hat: Place a strawberry on top of each cheesecake bite, with the sliced side down, forming the red part of the Santa hat.
- Finish with Whipped Cream Dot: Pipe a small dot of whipped cream on the pointed end of each strawberry to complete the look of a Santa hat pom-pom, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Use chilled cheesecake for easier cutting and handling.
- Fresh strawberries add the best flavor and look, but frozen and thawed can be used if fresh are unavailable.
- For more stability, you can chill the cheesecake bites after assembling to help them set before serving.
- Variations can include using flavored whipped cream or adding crushed graham crackers on top for texture.
