These no bake cheesecake santa hats are fun for the holiday season and easy to make. The crust is made with @snackbacktonature Classic Crème chocolate cookies. @snackbacktonature can now be found at @wholefoods
1. In a blender combine the cookies, melted butter and salt. Grind until cookies are fine and mixture is combined.
2. In a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
3. Place cupcake liners in 12-count muffin tin. Evenly divide cookie crust among the 12 cupcake liners. Using a 3 tablespoon scoop, scoop cheesecake batter on top of cookie crust. Use a rubber spatula to spread the cheesecake batter evenly.
4. Place in refrigerator 2 hours or overnight to allow cheesecake batter to set.
5. Place a strawberry, flat side down on top of each cheesecake. Place whipped cream in a piping bag or zip-top bag, and pipe a strip of whipped cream around the base of the strawberry, then pipe a small dot on top of each strawberry to create the Santa hat appearance.
