Ingredients
To make your very own Cream Cheese Penguins, you will need the following ingredients:
- 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 package of black olives
- 1 package of baby carrots
- 1 bottle of yellow mustard (for decoration)
- 1 sheet of nori (seaweed), cut into small squares
- 1 package of toothpicks
Instructions
Creating these penguins is not only enjoyable but also a great way to engage with family or friends in the kitchen. Follow these easy steps to bring your edible penguins to life:
- Start by shaping the softened cream cheese into small oval balls. These will be the bodies of your penguins.
- Once the cream cheese is shaped, take a black olive and cut it in half. The halves will serve as the penguins’ heads.
- For the penguin’s feet, cut the baby carrots into small triangle shapes. This will give your penguins a grounded appearance.
- Now, assemble your penguins! First, place the cream cheese ball on a plate. Then, insert a toothpick through the center to hold the head (the olive half) in place.
- Next, attach the feet by inserting them into the cream cheese ball at the bottom, just enough so they stay put.
- Garnish the top of the penguin’s head with a small dab of yellow mustard to resemble a beak. You can also cut small pieces of the nori to make the penguins’ wings and place them appropriately.
- Repeat the process until all your penguins are assembled and beautifully arranged on a serving platter.
