# Components:
→ Fruit
01 - 12 large fresh strawberries
→ Cheesecake Filling
02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
04 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Topping & Decorations
05 - 12 mini marshmallows
06 - 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
07 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for melting)
# Method:
01 - Wash and dry strawberries. Slice off leafy ends so each stands upright. Set aside.
02 - Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
03 - Transfer filling into a piping bag or plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe a small mound onto each cut strawberry side to form the face.
04 - Place one mini marshmallow atop each filled strawberry to resemble Santa's hat pom-pom.
05 - In microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
06 - Pipe or drizzle melted white chocolate around the base of each strawberry to mimic hat fur trim, using a toothpick for precision if needed.
07 - Arrange strawberries in single layer in air fryer basket. Air fry at 320°F for 2–3 minutes to lightly set chocolate (optional). Cool before serving.
