Lesley Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I hate the word Santa.... but couldn't resist these for littlies to make...... 1 lb large strawberries 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 3-4 Tablespoons icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Sesame seeds for eyes (black seeds I presume) Cut the top off the strawberries ready for the hats. Scoop the middles out of the rest of the strawberries. Mix together the cheese, sugar and vanilla until creamy and put the mix into a piping bag. Fill the strawberries with the cheesecake mixture, top with the 'hats' and add the seeds as eyes. Add piped buttons and bobble on top of the hat. Refrigerate if not serving immediately. I think I might make some small digestive biscuits for them to sit on - they'll taste even more like strawberry cheesecakes then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinsk Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 saw these on Sunday Brunch at the weekend, they looked very cute. I am sure they used black onion seeds for the eyes, don't suppose it really matters, whatever little black seed is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 They look lovely! I am sure you could use poppy seeds for eyes as I am not sure how well onion seeds would go with strawberry (despite what the chap on Masterchef the Professionals though last night ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 They are fab! Am I allowed to be a bah humbug though and say strawberries aren't exactly a seasonal Christmas fruit?! (Still tempted to have a go though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 They are fab! Am I allowed to be a bah humbug though and say strawberries aren't exactly a seasonal Christmas fruit?! (Still tempted to have a go though). Yes, you're allowed I quite agree. It's the one time of the year when I buy quite a bit of unseasonal fruit though - I love a big fruit platter to counteract all the rich food...... through the year we mostly eat fruit we've grown and we did still have strawberries growing in November....but not now .
