Yes, it is. More generally, the following result holds.

Proposition If $R$ is henselian at the maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$, then $R[[x_1, \ldots, x_n]]$ is henselian at the maximal ideal lying over $\mathfrak{m}$.

See N. Sankharan, A theorem on Henselian Rings, Canad. Math. Bull. 11 275-277 (1968), in particular Corollary 2.
