Strawberry St. Nicholases made with cheesecake creme hold their shape and do not collapse like whipped cream or other softer mixtures. Use leftover filling as a delicious fruit dip.

Slice hulls off strawberries so they will stand up straight. Cut tops off to be the miters. Place a blob of cheesecake cream on bottom strawberry piece.
