Vegan Christmas Appetizers: Funny Penguins

You want a lean appetizer for warm holiday? Try some free, edible animal penguins. They get a lot of holidays or Christmas vegan appetizers. They add a touch of fantasy in your celebration and will be absolutely be aware.

I made these appetizers adorable Penguin part of Christmas Eve last year, and they were a success factor for taste and novelty kawaii. In addition, I had the pleasure, makes them, they were vegan so everyone could eat. Children love, too, and it would be fun way to spend some time during the holidays with your children, some.

You'll need:

1 carrot, better organic

1 extra large olives pitted

1 small olives pitted

Cream cheese, cream cheese mixture or vegan, approximately 1/4-1/2 cup

Optional: approximately 2 TBS chopped nuts, added to the mixture of cream-cheese-like

toothpicks

I remember exactly what cream-cheese-like vegan recipe, I used, but there are a lot of online. Most appeal to some nuts, tofu, salt, sugar, lemon juice and other aromas such as garlic, possibly mixed together in a blender or a food processor. Anything quite white and savory will be, but it must be a rigid consistency, so they remain stuffed olives and retain its shape.

Do penguins:

For each penguin, you'll need

extra wide olive 1

1 small olive

1 toothpick

1 slice carrot

1 tsp. cream cheese mixture (approx.)

To make the Penguin body, cut a narrow corner of a large olive, from top to bottom.

Complete piece olive rest with the cream cheese mixture.

To make the head, fill a small olive with vegan cream cheese mixture.

For the beak cut a small triangle in a slice of carrot. The large piece remaining will be feet.

Very carefully, cut a horizontal slit in the small stuffed olive going only to Midway through the it.

Insert the triangle carrot "beak." You may need to make more carrot thin slices or cut a larger slot.

Insert the low toothpick from olive "head", then the olive pleased "body" and finally by the carrot "feet".

Standing your Penguin and smile.

To keep standing, I blocked the toothpick in a box lunch takeout foam I had washed to reuse. It is not necessary, but it makes for a fun presentation. You can also use something like half a head of cabbage instead of foam.

You'll have your own little colony of penguins adorable, edible! They do not have to be limited to Christmas or winter holidays. It would be a great hit party children, too, but be careful for toothpicks.

These seem to be very difficult to do, but they are not a lot of time or careful at all. The pleasure that I had to make these vegan snacks Christmas worth. Not only have their great taste, but they got lots of attention and comments, too.
