Step 1: Prepare your bagels. Slice each bagel horizontally. If you desire, lightly toast the bagel halves. Allow them to cool completely before proceeding with the stacked bagel snowman whipped cream cheese recipe.
Step 2: Lay out the bagel halves. For each snowman, you will need two to three bagel halves of varying sizes (e.g., one large bottom, one medium middle, one small top). If using standard bagels, slice one bagel into two halves for the body and use a third half (perhaps from another bagel, or cut smaller) for the head.
Step 3: Spread whipped cream cheese generously on one side of each bagel half. Ensure a thick, even layer, as this will serve as your ‘snow’ and the ‘glue’ for your snowman. This is the core of our stacked bagel snowman whipped cream cheese recipe, giving it its snowy appearance and delicious taste.
Step 4: Begin stacking. Place the largest cream-cheese-side-up bagel half on a plate. Gently place the next smaller cream-cheese-side-up bagel half on top, slightly off-center to give it character. Finish by placing the smallest cream-cheese-side-up bagel half on the very top to form the head.
Step 5: Decorate the snowman’s face. Carefully press two chocolate chips or blueberries into the top bagel half for the eyes. Position a small carrot triangle just below the eyes for the snowman’s nose. This brings your stacked bagel snowman whipped cream cheese recipe to life!
Step 6: Add arms and other details. Insert two broken pretzel stick halves into the sides of the middle bagel half to create arms. You can add thin strips of red bell pepper as a festive scarf around the snowman’s ‘neck’ or use small candy buttons for the body. Get creative with your decorations for this fun stacked bagel snowman whipped cream cheese recipe.
