Strawberry Santas - A Diabetic Safe Recipe
Fresh strawberries stuffed with creamy filling transform into the cutest holiday treats that everyone will love. They’re as fun to make as they are to eat.
Ingredients
- 12 large strawberries
- 1 cup whipped cream cheese or regular cream cheese, softened, for a richer texture
- 2 tbsp powdered monk fruit sweetener
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Sugar-free decorative red and black icing optional
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries carefully. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Cut the stem off each strawberry to create a flat bottom. Slice the top of each strawberry to make the "Santa hat."
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the whipped cream cheese, powdered monk fruit, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round or star tip.
- Place the flat-bottomed strawberry "body" on a serving plate.
