Ingredients for Snowman from quail eggs Serves 1
Quail eggs 10 eggs Carrot 1/2 piece Black olives 2 pieces Leeks A little Parsley A little
How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh quail eggs
- Choose quail eggs with a sturdy, slightly rough shell, and a white powdery coating on the outside. In contrast, eggs that have been stored for a long time will have a smooth shell and may have black spots or mold due to moisture.
- When holding the egg in your hand, only expose the two ends, look at the egg from one side while shining a light from the other side. If the egg is fresh, it will have a translucent pink color with a pink spot in the middle.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that are bright in color, dark orange, smooth-skinned, with green leaves and not bruised.
- Additionally, you should select those that are still firm and of medium size.
- Avoid choosing carrots that have wilted leaves, have cracks on the body, or spots, and those with green tops.

Making the snowman body
First, use a knife to cut off both ends of the egg to make them flat. Then, stack the two ends of the egg together and use a toothpick to pierce the middle to stick the two parts together.
-
Next, use a small straw to gently press 2 holes in the first egg to create 2 eyes. Below that, press 3 holes in a vertical line to create buttons.
Then, cut a slice from a black olive, and use the straw to gently press to create several small round pieces.
Next, insert these olive pieces into the holes that have been made on the surface of the egg.
-
Making the hat and nose
Peel the carrot, wash it clean, and then cut out 1 large slice and 2 small slices of carrot.
Cut 2 lines on a small piece of carrot to shape the nose. Then, gently press a knife on the “snowman’s face” and pin the cut carrot piece onto it.
Next, pin the large and small carrot slices onto the snowman’s head.
-
Completion
Place the parsley leaves next to the body of the snowman, then gently press with a toothpick to secure the leaves inside. Do the same with the other side.
Finally, use the chives to tie around the neck of the snowman to finish.

Melting and coloring the chocolate
First, melt 200gr of white chocolate and stir until smooth. Then, divide the chocolate into 2 bowls for coloring.
Tip:- To avoid the chocolate burning or separating, you should melt the chocolate using a double boiler!

Add a little pink food coloring into a bowl of white chocolate and stir well.

Dip the strawberries
Next, dip half of the large part of the strawberry into the bowl of white chocolate and let it sit for the chocolate to dry.
Then, dip the pointed end of the strawberry into the bowl of pink chocolate. While this chocolate part is still wet, sprinkle a little red powdered sugar evenly on top and let it dry.
-
Decoration
Use a piping bag to squeeze a small dot of chocolate on the pointed top of the strawberry. Next, sprinkle a little white candy for adhesion.
Then, squeeze a line of chocolate around the middle of the strawberry and evenly sprinkle more candy. Finally, use dark chocolate to draw eyes and a mouth to complete.
