How to make Cheesecake Santa Hats

  1. Remove the cheesecake from the container and discard the cardboard base.

  2. Wash and pat dry the strawberries. Remove the stems and leaves.

  4. Place the white frosting in a sandwich bag with your preferred frosting tip.

  5. Frost around the top rim and center of each mini cheesecake.

  6. Place a strawberry on top of each mini cheesecake.

  7. Add a small dollop of frosting on top of each strawberry.

  8. Keep chilled until ready to eat.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the strawberries are completely dry before placing them on the cheesecakes to prevent the frosting from sliding off.

FAQS

  1. Can I use homemade cheesecake for this recipe?

    Yes, you can use homemade cheesecake as long as it is a 6-inch cheesecake. Just ensure it is chilled and firm enough to cut into mini rounds.

  2. How do I store the Cheesecake Santa Hats after making them?

    You should keep the Cheesecake Santa Hats chilled in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve them. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

  3. What type of frosting works best for this recipe?

    A classic white frosting works best for this recipe, but you can also use cream cheese frosting or whipped cream if you prefer a lighter texture.

  4. Can I make these Cheesecake Santa Hats ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the mini cheesecakes and frost them a few hours in advance. Just add the strawberries and the final dollop of frosting right before serving for the best presentation.

  5. What can I substitute for strawberries if they are not in season?

    If strawberries are not available, you can use other berries like raspberries or blueberries, or even small pieces of fruit like kiwi or cherries to create a festive look.
