Ingredients

  • 12 pieces Strawberries

dekoracija

  • pieces chocolate, dark

krema

  • 100 g Cheese, creamy

  • 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla, extract, imitation

  • 1 spoon Powdered sugar

Steps

  1. Rinse the strawberries under running water and dry them thoroughly with paper towels.

  2. Mix the mascarpone and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until you get a slightly thicker, smooth cream. Transfer the cream into a piping bag fitted with a small star tip.

  3. Use a knife to cut off the stems of the strawberries to create flat bases. Then cut off the tips of the strawberries – be careful not to cut off too much, as the "hats" will be too heavy and the Santas will tip over. Use a small knife to hollow out the strawberries slightly to make room for the cream.

  4. Fill the strawberries with the prepared cream and carefully place the cut-off tips on top as hats. Arrange the Santas on a serving plate or platter. Use chocolate chips or small pieces of chocolate to make eyes, then use the piping bag to draw buttons and pom-poms on the hats. Serve the prepared snack immediately or store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
