INGREDIENTS

  • Dairy

    • 🥛 1 1/2 pounds cream cheese, softened

  • Vegetables and Herbs

    • 1/3 cup roasted red pepper
    • 2 tablespoons Italian parsley

  • Spices

    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 🧄 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • Meat

    • 🍖 6 ounces prosciutto, or other cured ham

STEPS

1

Add cream cheese, red pepper, parsley, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne to a bowl and mix thoroughly. Cover surface with plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

2

Trace your hand on a piece of parchment. Turn parchment over, and place on a baking sheet.

3

Use two teaspoons to fill in the hand template with the chilled cheese mixture. Build cheese up in appropriate spots to form the 3-dimensional shape of a hand and wrist.

4

Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until very firm, about 1 hour.

5

Use a knife to separate fingers from hand and hand from wrist. Wrap each piece with prosciutto, tucking extra meat underneath. Cover, and place in freezer about 1 hour, or until ready to complete assembling the hand.

6

Place the hand section on a serving board first, then attach the fingers and the wrist. Use your own hand as a reference for placing parts of the hand. Use more prosciutto to cover seams, and to add detail and definition. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
