Santa Hat Strawberry Cheesecake Cups
These cheerful strawberry cheesecake cups are perfect for a Christmas dessert table. Creamy vanilla cheesecake filling is layered with buttery biscuit crumbs and fresh strawberries, then decorated with a whole strawberry that looks like a tiny Santa hat. The natural red-and-white color combination feels festive without requiring complicated decorating.
Instructions
- Combine the crushed biscuits, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar until the crumbs resemble damp sand.
- Divide the crumb mixture among clear dessert glasses and press it down very lightly.
- Mix the chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and lemon juice, then let them stand for about 10 minutes.
- Beat the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until completely smooth.
- Whip the heavy cream separately until medium-stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pipe or spoon a cheesecake layer over the crumb base, add strawberries, and repeat the layers if the glasses are tall enough.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Just before serving, add whipped cream, place an upside-down whole strawberry on top, and finish with a tiny whipped-cream pom-pom.
