Ingredients

12 strawberries
1 banana
¼ Cup ricotta cheese or alternative: cottage cheese, cream cheese, coconut yoghurt

Instructions

Take the top off a strawberry (ie the leaves).
Slice a second slice from the top of the strawberry
Slice a disc from a banana
Spread one side of the banana with ricotta cheese (relatively thickly, as this will become the beard).
Place the strawberry slice on the serving plate. Add the slice of the banana on top, cottage cheese side down.
Take the gel icing pen and add 2 dots on the edge of the banana slice to look like eyes
Place the remaining part of the strawberry on top as the hat. Repeat for as many Santas you wish to make

Notes

I purchased a black gel icing pen to create the eyes

You do not have to use cottage cheese, that is what I had to hand but the recipe will work with anything white and creamy in texture, Ricotta, Cream Cheese, Coconut Yoghurt
