Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 large strawberries
- 1 cup vegan buttercream frosting
- sesame seeds
- red circle sprinkles or red hot candies
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the strawberries. Cut off the leafy stem at the bottom so each strawberry has a flat base to stand on. Then slice the top third of each strawberry to create the "hat."
- Using a piping bag, add a dollop of vegan buttercream onto the larger part of each strawberry "body" to form santas beard and face.
- Place the strawberry "hat" back on top of the vegan buttercream, pressing down gently. Add a small dollop of vegan buttercream to the tip of the strawberry for the pompom.
- Add two small buttercream buttons to the larger part of the strawberry.
- Add two small sesame seeds to the Santa face for the eyes and the small red circle for the nose.

Notes
- Wait until you're ready to use your strawberries to wash and dry them to ensure maximum freshness.
- Use a very sharp knife to cut the strawberries. This will give you clean, pretty cuts.
- Keep your strawberry Santas refrigerated in a loosely covered container. Don't use an airtight container; the strawberries will go bad more quickly.
- The moisture of the cut strawberries can begin to melt the buttercream. I recommend making them before serving and refrigerating them to ensure the buttercream remains firm.
- Keep in the fridge for up to 1 day.
