Berry Cute Santas Recipe
  • Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
  • Yield: 12 Servings
30 30

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 12 red-frilled toothpicks
  • 12 large strawberries, cut in half widthwise
  • 24 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • 12 fudge-covered cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies

Directions

  • Cut twelve 1-in. cubes from pound cake (save remaining cake for another use). For icing, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert a #18 star tip. Fill bag with icing.
  • For each Santa, thread a frilled toothpick through a pointed strawberry half, then through a cake cube and a second strawberry half. For eyes, place a dab of icing on the bottoms of two chocolate chips; press onto cake. Pipe icing to form beards and to add fur brims below strawberry hats. Place each Santa on a cookie; serve immediately. Yield: 1 dozen.
