# What you need:
→ 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)
# How to make it:
01 - Wash and dry the strawberries. Slice off the leafy end so each strawberry can stand upright. Set aside.
02 - In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
03 - Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe a small mound onto the cut side of each strawberry to form the face.
04 - Place one mini marshmallow on top of each filled strawberry to resemble the pom-pom of Santa hats.
05 - In a 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 the fur trim of hats. Use a toothpick for detailed application if needed.
07 - Arrange the decorated strawberries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 320°F for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly set the chocolate, then cool before serving.
