Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cheesecake bites
  • 1 piece plain cheesecake Use homemade or store-bought.
  • 1.5 cups whipped cream or Cool Whip Light and airy for best texture.
  • 12 pieces strawberries Pick fresh, ripe strawberries; slice off tops.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by using a round biscuit cutter to punch holes out of the cheesecake, yielding 8 to 12 cheesecake bites.
  2. Transfer the whipped cream or Cool Whip to a piping bag and pipe a generous layer on top of each cheesecake bite.
  3. Place the prepared strawberries, sliced side down, on top of the piped whipped cream.
  4. Pipe a small dot of whipped cream on top of each strawberry to mimic the fluffy pom-pom of a Santa hat.

Notes

Consider drizzling melted dark or white chocolate over the tops for an elegant touch. A dash of vanilla extract can enhance the whipped cream flavor. Optionally, sprinkle crushed graham crackers around the base for added texture.
