Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Mozzarella cheese log
- 10–12 slices of Prosciutto
- 5 Prosciutto and mozzarella rolls (optional)
- Almond slivers for fingernails (optional)
- Crackers or bread for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Base
Start by laying a piece of parchment paper on a clean surface. Place the mozzarella cheese log on top. Cut off a small section to shape as a base for the fingers. - Shape the Hand
Using your hands, mold the cheese log into the rough shape of a hand, creating the palm and wrist area. Cut smaller pieces of mozzarella for the fingers. Attach these pieces to the hand base, pressing slightly to secure. - Add Finger Details
To make the hand look more realistic, shape the fingers into natural-looking proportions. Attach almond slivers at the tips to create fingernails, giving the hand an even more unsettling appearance. - Wrap with Prosciutto
Take the slices of prosciutto and layer them carefully over the mozzarella hand. Cover every part, adjusting and trimming the prosciutto slices as needed to ensure the hand looks realistic. Prosciutto’s marbled, flesh-like appearance adds to the eerie look. - Present the Appetizer
Carefully transfer the hand onto a serving platter. To add to the Halloween theme, serve on a coffin-shaped board or spooky serving tray with crackers or bread around the hand. Place a cheese knife next to it for easy serving.
