Using a sharp knife, slice the stem off the strawberry. Cut it as even as possible since the Santa-strawberries will use that as a base.

Cut the top third of the strawberry, which will be the Santa “hat”.

In a medium bowl, place the warm cream cheese, natural sweetener, and vanilla. Combine well. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking.

Place cream cheese mixture inside a zip bag and cut a small 1/2 inch hole in one corner.

Place the widest end of the sliced strawberry face down as the base. Top the strawberry with the cream cheese mixture, top with the strawberry hats.

Next, snip the opposite corner of the Ziplock with a 1/8 inch hole. Use this end to decorate “Santa’s” scarf by going around the lower part of his face, dot 2 dots for jacket buttons and squirt one dollop on the top of his hat.

Place the chopped chocolate in a small heat-safe bowl and heat gently until melted. Stir well. Place into a Ziplock bag. Cut a very small hole in one corner. Use to make Santa eyes in the cream cheese face.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
