Cream Cheese Walrus

A big old lug, tusks and all. Our cream cheese walrus is a spicy, memorable, centerpiece for any party.

1 Package cream cheese. Chilled.
1 C. Italian bread crumbs
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp
paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
3 cloves

Ok. Here's the deal. The bread crumbs should be spiced and mixed well. add more or less of any of the spices to get to the right color and flavor you want. Break off about 3/4 of an inch of the cream cheese and set aside to make the head, tusks, and front flippers. Wearing candy gloves if possible (running your hands under cold water will help too) shape the remaining cream cheese into a tear drop shape. To prevent the model from sticking to the counter top of cutting board, sprinkle some of the bread crumb mixture on it first, flatten the small end of the tear drop into the rear fluke. Now you should have the body done. pinch off a tiny bit of cream cheese from the chunk you set aside to make the tusks. roll them in your hands and set them aside. Divide the remainder into thirds. Roll two into logs and press into the body. Flatten these a bit to make front flippers. Roll the last third into a ball and stick it on the body to make head. Coat the walrus with the bread crumb mixture. scrape away two small spots on the front of the head to apply the tusks, add the cloves as eyes and a nose, and enjoy!

Fun and whimsical, originally he was just for show, but he turned out to be very tasty. A perfect match with the penguins as well. We're still trying to figure out an igloo, and ice floe to complete the scene! I love this little guy! He was very cute, and very spicy! He will be a great addition to your party table, and no more boring old cheese ball!

Just ask. Seriously, it's not a problem. No...really. We might want a reciprocal link or something, but what's the worst that could happen, we say "yes"?
