How to make this Halloween Scary Hand Cheese Plate! fool proof?

Make it ahead – you want to put it in the fridge once you created the hand, for at least an hour to three hours so you can move it easier onto your cutting board.

Use a cutting board with sharp knife cause the prosciutto is easier to cut through.

Put other items that you love around the hand, like sliced red onions, olives, green chiles, tomatoes, etc.

Servings 1 large appetizer

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 slices prosciutto or vegan prosciutto
  • 2 logs goat cheese, creme cheese

OR 2 recipes (2 cups of cashews) of Lively Life's Cashew Cheese

  • 1 mozzarella for 4 fingers & thumb
  • Sriracha

Add sriracha or tomato paste (if you don't want spicy) – for fingernails and severed limbs

Additional around hand – this is optional

  • Crackers
  • sliced tomatoes

  • Etc.

Instructions
 

  • Make cashew cheese – 2 recipes of the cashew cheese ball from Lively Life, link above. Or use goat or cream cheese.
  • Trace hand – I used longer fingers then mine! Tracing is to give you a framework.
    Place saran wrap on top of the traced hand paper.
  • Cut the mozzarella or other cheese into fingers and thumb or use string cheese. Wrap with prosciutto.
  • Use cashew cheese (it's a bit harder) or goat or cream cheese – form into the wrist and hand, add fingers to hand by creating some soft cheese under the fingers.
  • Wrap the hand and wrist with prosciutto.
  • Place in fridge for at least an hour to overnight, with saran wrap around it. This is to make it hard enough to move onto your cutting board.
  • Move onto cutting board carefully.
  • Add Sriracha for finger nails, and severed limbs
  • Add additional charcuterie board items like sliced onions, tomatoes, olives, green chiles, peppers, etc.
    ENJOY! Happy Halloween!
