Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another episode of Nerdy Nummies!
I’ve been reading your messages and I got a lot of requests to do something
easy mode, and I’ve been getting a lot of requests to do something
Star Wars related! Aw, aw, aw! So I had to wear my Star Wars shirt.
So, I’ve decided that today we will combine both of those requests and we will
make a very easy Star Wars snack!
We’re gonna make some cheese and crackers!
Carbonite and Crackers to be exact!
So let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be, a cheese grater, a large block of
mozzarella cheese, you can use any meltable cheese that you like, but my favorite
is mozzarella, so I’m gonna be using some mozzarella cheese. You will also need
crackers, here I’ve got small crackers, and some larger size crackers. And again,
these are interchangeable, you can use your favorite crackers.
And then you’re definitely gonna need a Han Solo frozen in carbonite mold.
I’ll put a link down below where you can find it if you’re interested in making
these. A big mixing bowl to throw all our cheese in, and a smaller microwaveable
safe bowl. Now, let’s put it all together!
The first thing that we’re gonna do is we’re gonna take our block of mozzarella
cheese, and I’m gonna cut it into smaller sections so it makes grating a
little bit easier.
So you’re gonna take your sharp cutting knife and I’m gonna cut it into 1/3s
Be careful, don’t get your fingers.
Now we’re gonna grate our mozzarella cheese, and there’s different settings
and sizes of grate, and what you’re gonna want to do is do the smaller grate,
not the larger grate size. So just the smaller, a little finer grating.
I know it’s cheesy but it feels “grate” … A-ha!
Once all your cheese is grated, now we are gonna heat up our cheese.
So in a microwave safe bowl, you’re gonna take 1 handful, of your shredded cheese.
But for me I’m gonna take 2 because, I got small hands.
Now we’re gonna head over to the microwave and heat for 20 seconds.
Your cheese will look like this, now you’re gonna take your spoon and mix it up,
just a little bit, mix it around.
Now we’re gonna microwave for 15 seconds.
We’re gonna mix again and pop it in the microwave for 10 more seconds.
It’s heat, mix! Heat, mix! Heat, mix and mold!
You’re just gonna eyeball it, you’re just gonna scoop it in there.
Oh my gosh! My little handfuls, even though I used 2 handfuls, wasn’t enough cheese
to fill all the molds. So now I gotta do 2 more handfuls!
Oh dang it, just have to eat these!
Om-nom-nom!
Once you’ve filled your mold, we are gonna pop this in the microwave 1 last time,
for 5 seconds, just to make sure the cheese gets in all the little grooves,
so you get those details.
And you can also tap it down a little bit, before and after the microwave.
OK, let’s go, 1 more time, 1 more time, I promise guys, just 1 more time!
Now you’re gonna place your mold in the refrigerator for 25 minutes for it to chill
and set, and you’ll know it’s done when you press on the back and it’s firm!
Just popped our mold out of the fridge, it’s had plenty of time to chill and set,
and now we’re gonna pop out all of our little cheeses!
I really like the silicone molds because they’re wiggly, you can wiggle ‘em out!
Oh my gosh, look at that!
There’s Han’s little face! Leia’s like, I love you!
And he’s like… I know!
Ta-da!
Here are the Star Wars themed Carbonite and Crackers that we made today!
We’ve got our little Han Solo’s out of mozzarella and then I used other cheeses,
and it’s just good to remember that you can use any meltable cheese!
Also, you can use any silicone mold. So if you want to make customized little cheese
snacks for your friends, you can use any silicone mold.
I will be posting photos of these Carbonite and Crackers on Facebook, Tumblr,
Instagram and Twitter, and if you guys make these, please send me your photos,
I love seeing your baking creations, it just makes my day!
And if you have any other ideas for any other Nerdy Nummies, please let me know,
leave me a comment down below and I will do my best to make it happen!
Alright, thanks again you guys!
Bye-bye!
