Fresh mozzarella is basically a water balloon made of dairy. If you try to grate it at room temperature, you’re just asking for a puddle. Freeze it first—yes, really.
Pop your mozzarella ball in the freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes. You want it firm, but not frozen solid. Think of it as a cheese that needs a little icy pep talk before it’s ready to perform.
While it chills, you can put on some music, dance around your kitchen, or just smile because life is about to get cheesier.
