Valentine's Prosciutto Love Bites 💖
These elegant and easy Valentine's Prosciutto Love Bites are the perfect romantic appetizer, combining savory prosciutto roses with creamy whipped cream cheese on crispy rice crackers. A healthy and delightful snack for any special occasion!
Equipment
- Kitchen scissors
- Pastry piping bag (or sandwich bag)
Ingredients
- 12 rice crackers
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 4 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 24 small dill fronds
Instructions
- Prepare the Prosciutto Strips: Using kitchen scissors, carefully cut each slice of prosciutto into strips, about half an inch wide. You might find it easier to do this while the prosciutto is still on its protective plastic backing.
- Create Prosciutto Roses: Gently peel the plastic from your prosciutto strips. Then, delicately roll each strip into a lovely rose shape. You can make some roses larger by using a whole strip, and others smaller by using half a strip. Aim to create around 36 charming little roses.
- Pipe the Cream Cheese: Take a rice cracker and, using a pastry piping bag (or a simple sandwich bag with a tiny corner snipped off), pipe a neat circle of whipped cream cheese onto its surface.
- Assemble and Garnish: Thoughtfully arrange three of your handcrafted prosciutto roses on one side of the cream-cheese-topped cracker. For a final touch of freshness, add two small dill fronds, one at the top and one at the bottom of the roses. Serve these delightful bites chilled for the best taste!
