# Components:
→ Cheeses
01 - 8.8 oz mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine)
02 - 3.5 oz cream cheese (for spreading and shaping)
03 - 2.8 oz black olives (for eyes and nose)
→ Fruits
04 - 2 large green apples
05 - 1 large pear (for the face base)
06 - 1 cup seedless green grapes
07 - 1 cup seedless red grapes
08 - 1 cup blueberries
→ Other
09 - 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
10 - Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
11 - 8 rice crackers or round crackers (optional, for serving)
# Method:
01 - Wash and dry all fruit thoroughly. Slice the pear lengthwise to form the lamb's face shape. Cut green apples into thin wedges for ears.
02 - Place the pear half in the center of a large serving platter as the lamb's face.
03 - Position mozzarella balls tightly around the pear to resemble fluffy wool surrounding the face.
04 - Use apple wedges on either side of the face to form the lamb’s ears.
05 - Place black olives to form eyes and nose, slicing them as needed for size and shape.
06 - Use blueberries and grapes to fill in gaps and add vibrant color around the wool and base of the platter.
07 - Dot a small amount of cream cheese to secure olives if necessary; optionally use cream cheese to create a smiling mouth.
08 - Garnish the arrangement with fresh mint leaves. Optionally, drizzle honey lightly over fruit and cheese for added sweetness.
09 - Serve immediately with crackers or as-is.
