Tips for a good recipe for terrifying cheese mummy in a airfryer

• The mold that I used to cook the cheese is about the same size as the cheese so it doesn't overflow when cooking
• You can also put the cheese mummy in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper and let it overflow for a more spooky look
• The cheese filling is a bit to taste regarding quantity
• I have used grapes and blueberries to make the eyes but Any ingredient that can be passed off as an eye (with its pupil and iris) will do.
• The combination of cheese and fruit is very rich (you can also add honey, which is a very good flavor combined with the cheese)

Substitution of ingredients

• Camembert cheese ➡️ Any cheese that keeps the same shape (or mini babybel cheeses to make mini mummies)
• Broken dough ➡️ Puff pastry or filo dough
• Prunes ➡️ Figs or dates
• Dried cranberry ➡️ Black olives or black grapes
• Small clay mold ➡️ Any mold suitable for air fryer
