"Horrible Hand" Ham and Cheese Board

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds cream cheese , softened
• 0.33 cups roasted red pepper
• 2 tablespoons talian parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. 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. 2

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

3. 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. 4

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

5. 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. 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.
