Equipment
- Dual-Sided Charcuterie Board Set or any serving platter
- Kitchen Knife Set
- Stand Mixer or a hand mixer
- Decorating Bag Set - Piping Bag and Tips with a #47 basket weave tip
Ingredients
- 2 port wine cheese logs 12 ounces each
- 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 Tablespoon(s) 2% milk
- 2 whole peppercorns
- 1 pimiento strip
Instructions
- Cut the cheese logs into pieces for the head, body, two arms and two legs. Arrange them on a serving platter so the pieces touch.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and milk until smooth. Spoon it into a piping bag fitted with a #47 basket weave tip, or into a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off.
- Pipe crisscrossing rows of bandages over the mummy, leaving small gaps so the cheese shows through.
- Press in the peppercorns for eyes and add the pimiento strip for a mouth. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Make ahead: Assemble up to 1 day ahead, cover loosely and refrigerate. Let it stand 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
No #47 tip? A zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off works fine.
