# 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)
# Preparation Steps:
01 - Wash and dry the strawberries, then slice off the leafy ends so each can stand upright.
02 - Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
03 - Transfer the filling into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off, then pipe a small mound onto the cut side of each strawberry.
04 - Place a mini marshmallow on top of each filled strawberry to mimic the Santa hat pom-pom.
05 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips with optional coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
06 - Pipe or drizzle a ring of melted white chocolate around the base of each strawberry to resemble the hat's fur trim, using a toothpick for precision if needed.
07 - Arrange strawberries in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry at 320°F for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly set the chocolate. Cool before serving.
