Scale
Ingredients
- 1 mozzarella cheese log
- Prosciutto slices (enough to cover the shaped hand)
- Crackers (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Lay a piece of parchment paper down and place the mozzarella cheese log on top. Cut off a portion of the mozzarella to shape the hand.
- Shape the hand: Mold the cut mozzarella piece into the shape of a hand, carefully forming fingers by pushing the cheese slightly to secure each digit firmly in place.
- Wrap with prosciutto: Layer slices of prosciutto over the shaped mozzarella hand, trimming edges as needed to achieve a realistic hand appearance, ensuring the prosciutto adheres well to the cheese.
- Arrange for serving: Transfer the completed prosciutto hand to a serving platter or a thematic coffin-shaped board. Surround with crackers and provide a cheese knife for guests to serve themselves.

- The combination of savory prosciutto and creamy mozzarella provides a delicious contrast in flavor and texture.
- Serve with a selection of crackers or sliced bread to complement the cheese hand.
- Using a parchment paper makes shaping and transferring easier and cleaner.
- Customize by adding edible eyes or blood-like sauce for extra spooky effect if desired.
