Burrata Snowman

5 from 2 votes

This fun recipe is inspired by the talented @foodbites, whose tutorial had me running 🏃‍♀️ to the store to buy ingredients to recreate these delicious burrata snowmen. Although I used fresh mozzarella instead of burrata, the outcome was still the same - a festive and adorable twist on a traditional Caprese salad 🥗 that will impress your guests and add some cheer to your holiday table.

Equipment

Ingredients

500 grams Fior Di Latte Mozzarella or Burrata (4 balls)
peppercorns 11-12 peppercorns per snowman
carrot
basil
255 grams cherry tomatoes halved
10 bocconcini cheese balls mini
salt
olive oil
balsamic glaze

Instructions

Place the fresh mozzarella balls in pairs on a large plate or platter, stacking them one on top of the other like a snowman.
Slice a carrot and trim it into two triangle-shaped noses. Place a carrot nose on each snowman.
Use peppercorns to create the eyes, mouth and buttons on each snowman.
Use the basil to make a scarf by sticking it between the two mozzarella balls (between the head and body).
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange the tomatoes around the snowmen on the platter. Scatter in some bocconcini and basil leaves.
Top the tomatoes and bocconcini mix with a drizzle of olive oil, balsamic glaze and a generous sprinkle of salt. Enjoy!
