Happy Holidays Y'all!
I'm not much of a baker these days, especially since we are empty nesters and have to watch our sugar intake. One thing for sure, though, we all love Christmas treats - whether homemade or store bought! Nothing beats a delicious treat that is homemade! So for this month's Christmas Treats Challenge, hosted by Beverly @Across the Blvd, I decided to look around online for a quick and easy to make homemade treat! And I came across one on the popular Delish site that I loved. Santa Hat Cheesecake Bites! The recipe featured two of my favorite eats - cheesecake and strawberries! So I have to share my thoughts on making these treats!
The directions said: 1. Make or buy a cheesecake. 2. Make it festive . . .
Add a strawberry and some whipped cream on top of cheesecake for the most festive (and adorable) bites ever. How easier can that get! So I bought an 8" cheesecake - I've made cheesecakes before and it can be quite time consuming, so I opted for a tasty store bought one and . . .
some luscious strawberries that I rinsed and sliced the tops off of.
Then, using a small biscuit or round cookie cutter, punched out what I thought would be cute, smaller cheesecakes.
Next, the directions said to fill a piping bag with whipped cream and cover the surface of each cheesecake with a swirl. Oh, and then it said for an even easier way, a can of whipped cream should work just as well. I'm all about easy, so I tried using a can of whipped cream!
The whipped cream can swirls started to melt within a very short time. And nothing can stop that, including refrigeration! But I continued on, lol!
But for serving to company - here are my thoughts: I would try a no-bake cheesecake recipe and use silicone cups to make easily removable pieces and of course, handmade whipped cream, too! It's all about presentation!
Quite tasty, nevertheless!

Ha ha! This remind me so much of when the squirty cream first arrived here in the UK in the 80's. My nan put it all over a trifle for a party the day before and then was shocked the next morning when she had a little snail trail wiggle of cream on her trifle and the fluffy mounds of whipped cream were gone! These look fab, such a good idea to use a ready made cheesecake and you'll have to tidy up all the little offcuts yourself so that's a win too :-)
