From Yoly’s Kitchen recipe: Cream Cheese Penguins

Looking to impress our neighbors in a monthly potluck dinner a few years ago I came across this recipe. I love that is so easy to make and it’s so cute to entertain with that you feel the urge to play with your food before eating it ;)

Ingredients
2 carrot
24 small black olives, pitted
24 jumbo black olives, pitted
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Preparation
1. Slice carrots into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
2. Cut a small notch (like a wedge) out of each carrot slice to form feet.
3. Save the cut out piece (it will form the penguin’s beak).
4. Cut a slit from top to bottom, lengthwise, into the side of each jumbo olive.
5. Scoop the cream cheese into a small zip-top bag and cut a corner.
6. Fill each jumbo olive with the cream cheese.
7. Insert the “beak” into the small olive.
7. Now, it’s time to star the production line. Set a big olive, large hole side down, onto a carrot slice. Then, set a small olive onto the large olive, adjusting so that the beak, cream cheese chest and notch in the carrot slice line up. Secure with a toothpick.

Enjoy!
