Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 slices ham
  • 200 grams bocconcini mozzarella balls
  • 200 grams cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 fresh mozzarella
  • 2 almonds

Instructions

  • Place the 2 slices of ham overlapping in the middle of a platter or chopping board.
  • Use bocconcini to make the hair.
  • Put the almonds in a small heat-proof bowl and pour boiling water over them for 3-4 minutes until the peel comes off easily. Be careful not to burn yourself.
  • Slice the cucumber peel to make the jacket trim.
  • Use the small round cutter to make the cucumber peel pupils and the metal straw to make the three green cucumber peel buttons.
  • Trim a long, thin slice of cucumber peel into a nose and mouth.
  • Slice the mozzarella and trim two rectangles for the collar.
  • Use the medium cookie cutter to make the round shirt details and the eyes.
  • Assemble the vampire (it may help to halve the tomatoes so they don't roll around).
  • Serve.
