  • ¼ cup mascarpone cheese at room temperature

  • Using a spatula, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small star piping tip.

Assemble Santas

  • Using a paring knife, cut off the leaf-end of each strawberry to make a flat surface.
  • Cut a ½- to ¾-inch piece from the pointed end of each strawberry and reserve as the hats.
  • Place the strawberries, wide-side down, on a work surface.
  • Pipe a ¾-inch-high swirl of frosting on each strawberry.
  • Place the hats on top and pipe a small ball of frosting on top of the hats.
  • Press two chocolate chips, pointed-sides inward, into the swirl of frosting to make eyes.
