Description
Playful Babybel Bunnies hop onto Easter charcuterie boards with charming personality. Creamy cheese wheels become adorable bunny characters that delight guests and spark conversation around your festive spread.
Ingredients
Scale
Cheese:
- 1 pack Mini Babybel cheese wheels (original or white cheddar)
- 2 slices Sliced mozzarella or provolone cheese (for bunny ears)
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1 pinch Black sesame seeds
- 1 edible marker
Garnish:
- 2 small pieces Carrot or radish (for noses)
- 1 handful Chives or green onion strips (for whiskers)
Utensils:
- 1 small round piping tip or knife (for cutting out details)
Instructions
- Carefully unwrap the Babybel cheese, preserving the distinctive red wax coating. Delicately slice a small opening at the bottom of the wax shell to form a charming bunny mouth.
- Transform mozzarella or provolone cheese into elegant ear shapes by cutting precise oval outlines. Secure these ears to the back of the Babybel using a light dab of cream cheese or a touch of honey.
- Craft the bunny’s expressive facial features with precision. Dot black sesame seeds or use an edible marker to create adorable eyes. Slice minuscule carrot or radish rounds to form a tiny, playful nose. Delicately position fine chive strips as whiskers, bringing the little cheese bunny to life.
- Artfully arrange the Babybel bunnies on a thoughtfully curated charcuterie board. Complement the whimsical cheese creatures with an assortment of crisp crackers, vibrant fresh fruits, crunchy nuts, savory meats, and festive Easter treats. Enhance the display with chocolate eggs, soft pastel-colored confections, and charming bunny-shaped cookies to create a visually stunning and delectable spread.
Notes
- Check the cheese’s temperature, letting it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes ensures easier shaping and better texture.
- Choose soft, pliable cheeses like mozzarella or provolone for creating smooth, easily attachable bunny ears.
- Experiment with different herbs and vegetables for facial details, like using cucumber seeds for eyes or parsley strips for whiskers to add unique visual appeal.
- Create dairy-free alternatives by substituting Babybel with plant-based cheese rounds or using carved vegetables like radishes as bunny bases for vegan guests.
