Adorable Christmas dessert alert: This hack turns a store-bought cheesecake and strawberries into the cutest Santa Hat treat from Delish.com.

Do you buy or make cheesecake more often?

When Santa makes his list and checks it twice this year, we plan to be right at the top: These mini Santa cheesecake bites are the easiest way to show just how nice you are.

We're obsessed with this dessert for two reasons: 1) They're ridiculously cute and 2) they're ridiculously simple.

Press a small circle cookie cutter into any cheesecake—homemade or store-bought (a Sara Lee would work perfectly here) to create a bite-sized base. 

Next, fill a piping bag with whipped cream and cover the surface of each cheesecake bite with a swirl. (Hack this part if you have a steady hand—a can of whipped cream should work just as well.) 

Finally, slice the bottom off of a strawberry and set it on top of the whipped cream. Add one tiny dollop to the tip of the strawberry and Ho, Ho, Ho-ly cow, you've done it.

Need an easy recipe for holiday truffles? This recipe for Red Velvet Cheesecake Bites from Delish.com is the best.

Red Velvet Cheesecake Bites

(8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened

c. sugar

heavy cream

pure vanilla extract

Made these according to the recipe.  Left them in the freezer overnight, trust me they were frozen.  Rolled them in the cupcake crumbs and they were absolutely delicious.  Everyone that had them on Christmas Day raved about them.

Super excited to make these with my family. Quick, rather cheap and sounds wonderful! Now, typically I ignore rudeness, however this time i felt as tho I'm gonna give my opinion! This is simply a recipe, there isn't any need for ugly/rude remarks! Gosh...Kids these day's are rather rude and bullies, seemingly it makes since when adults(who are parents) have kid's just like them! Any how...I appreciate the recipe, as it involves my husband's 2 favorite desserts combined in ONE.

Not sure what went wrong, but mine came out to soft.  And after I froze them the cake did not adhere very well.

I followed the directions to the letter. They turned out perfect. I don't think that you have to adjust the recipe.

Made these for my husband and he loved them. This is a go to snack. For the house or even a party and family gathering. Who knew it would be soooooo good.

Big hit! Loved them! I added powdered sugar and mixed long and chilled in freezer in stainless steel to set up!

Maybe they needed more sugar.. They were not very appetizing

I tried these for a girls holiday get together.  First, I'd suggest to make in the form of cupcakes since that is easier to freeze.  I barely used 1/3 of one 9 inch pan. Maybe I did something wrong? It seemed a bit like too much cream cheese. Maybe I made them too large but they didn't seem to harder. I may throw it back in a bowl with a mixer and redo and try to incorporate more cake crumbs for something tomorrow.

I had no issues with the recipe. I did add more powdered sugar, just to sweeten. I didn't bother trying to make a perfect ball shape, instead I just blobbed it on the parchment paper lol. I let it set up for a full hour in the freezer, and no issues with the cake crumbs sticking. 
I doubled the recipe, so I left some sit in the freezer while I coated the first batch. 
They will be served at my sisters birthday party tomorrow. So, I had my kiddos do the taste test... they loved them. 😊❤

My cheesecake mixture never got stiff peaks and never firmed up, even though I put it in the freezer. It finally got cold enough that I could roll something that resembled balls in the red velvet crumbs. Since it's July Fourth, I tucked a large blueberry in the middle of each. I finally put the finished balls in the freezer and we ate them as frozen treats. They were delicious, and the blueberry in the middle was a fun surprise in taste and texture.

I made these and they never peaked nor did the cheesecake get hard after hours in the freezer.  I followed the recipe to a T. Anyone else have this issue and did you find a way to fix it?? Help please

This recipe is an absolute lie. The cheesecake mixture does not firm up at all and makes a huge mess. Someone clearly left something out of this recipe 0/10 do not reccomend

Covered in red velvet cake crumbs, these sweet cheese balls are the perfect small bite for any party.

Cranberry Bliss Bars – a homemade version of the popular Starbucks treat! These taste just like the original, and are easy to make right at home!

Cranberry Bliss Bars {Starbucks Copycat Recipe}

(2 sticks) butter, melted

brown sugar

orange extract

vanilla extract

ginger

baking powder

salt

all purpose flour

white chocolate chips

Craisins

cream cheese, (softened)

sugar

Craisins, (roughly chopped)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 15x10 or 13x9 inch jelly roll pan or rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper. *see notes

Beat together melted butter and brown sugar over medium speed with an electric mixer. Add in eggs, 1 tsp orange extract, and 1 tsp vanilla extract and beat until mixed well. Add in ground ginger, baking powder, salt, and flour, beating until just blended. Don't overmix.

Stir in white chocolate chips and Craisins by hand. Spread evenly into the bottom of prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes until set and golden brown at the edges. Don't overbake or bars will be hard. Remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool. Allow bars to cool completely before topping with frosting.

To make the frosting, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add 1/2 tsp orange extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and mix well. Top cooled bars with frosting. Sprinkle with chopped Craisins and drizzle white chocolate over the top with a fork. I dip my fork into the chocolate then shake it gently over the top of the bars to create little streaks. You can either slice right away and enjoy, or place the bars in the refrigerator for about an hour (what I like to do) to help them set up before cutting. Cut into triangles and enjoy!

Ricardo's recipe : Pets-de-Soeur (Sweet Puff Pastry Pinwheels) (2 versions)

Pets-de-Soeur (Sweet Puff Pastry Pinwheels) (2 versions)

rolled-out 7 oz (200 g) puff pastry, thawed

(75 ml) hazelnut spread (Nutella-type)

(75 ml) chopped toasted hazelnuts

(60 ml) salted butter, softened

(125 ml) brown sugar

(1 ml) cinnamon

On a floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 25-cm (10-inch) by 3-mm (-inch) thick square. Over the entire surface, spread the hazelnut spread or butter for the caramel version. Sprinkle with the nuts or brown sugar and cinnamon for the caramel version. Roll the dough onto itself so as to enclose the filling. Place the cylinder on a baking sheet and freeze for about 1 hour or until the dough is semi-frozen.

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Butter 12 muffin cups. Set aside.

Slice the dough roll into 12 slices and lay flat in the muffin cups (see note for freezing). Bake for about 18 minutes for the Nutella version and 23 minutes for the caramel version or until golden brown. Let cool for 2 minutes. Unmould by flipping onto parchment paper and let cool completely. Keeps in an airtight container at room temperature for about 1 week.
