Ingredients

  • 1 mozzarella cheese log
  • Prosciutto slices (enough to cover the shaped hand)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mozzarella Base: Lay a piece of parchment paper down on your working surface and place the mozzarella cheese log on top. Cut a portion off to use for shaping the hand.
  2. Shape the Hand: Sculpt the cut mozzarella into the shape of a hand, carefully forming fingers by pushing and molding the cheese slightly to secure them in place.
  3. Layer Prosciutto: Layer prosciutto slices over the formed mozzarella hand, trimming and adjusting as necessary to cover the shape fully and create the look of a real hand.
  4. Serve: Transfer the finished hand to a serving platter or a themed coffin-shaped board. Accompany with crackers and a cheese knife for guests to slice and enjoy.
