- Whipped Cream or Vanilla Frosting
- Mini Marshmallows

Instructions
Prepare the Strawberries and Bananas:
- Wash the strawberries and gently pat them dry.
- Cut off the leafy top of each strawberry so they have a flat base to stand on.
- Peel the bananas and cut them into thick slices, about 1/2 inch each.
Assemble The Hats:
- If using whipped cream, shake the can well or whip your cream to stiff peaks if you're making it from scratch.
- Place a dollop of whipped cream on each banana slice.
- Carefully place a strawberry, pointed end up, on top of the cream or frosting on each banana slice, so it looks like the body of a hat.
Add The Details:
- Place a mini marshmallow on the tip of each strawberry to complete the 'hat'.
- For additional decoration, you can add a chocolate chip or sprinkle on top of the marshmallow or around the base of the cream/frosting.
Chill and Serve:
- Place the Santa Hats in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set. This step is especially important if you're using whipped cream from a can.
- Serve chilled as a fun and festive holiday treat!
Tips & Tricks For Strawberry Banana Santa Hats
- You can get creative with the dip by adding colors or sprinkles for additional festive flair. On ours we added Christmas colored sprinkles.
