Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup Heavy whipping cream
3 tbsp Powdered sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tbsp Cream cheese (optional, but a delicious addition!)
Fresh strawberries
Bakery fresh croissants
A good sharp knife (we have this knife set and love it!)
Hand mixer
Shaker for powdered sugar

Steps:

Add your heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar into a bowl and blend well until peaks form.
Add in your vanilla extract and beat or whip until well combined.
Cut your croissants in half.
Slice your strawberries.
Fill a piping bag with a frosting tip (if you wish for your whipped cream to be decorative) and pipe the whipped cream onto one sliced side of the croissant.
Add sliced strawberries to the top of the whipped cream, fanning them out evenly across, and top with the other side of the croissant.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
For the decorative croissants with a "Santa hat" on top, slice the top of the strawberry off, frost the cut end of the strawberry with a little extra whipped cream and place it on top of the croissants.
Pipe a little whipped cream on top for the wooly top to the "hat" and serve.
