Chocolate Dessert Charcuterie Board
I'm a major fan of these fun snack spreads and this Dessert Charcuterie Board might just be my new favorite. It doesn't get much better than chocolate + cheese with crunchy and creamy textures; there's just so much for the tastebuds!
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Marble or Wooden Slab / Board
- Knives
- Cheese knives
- strainer
Ingredients
- 3-4 different fruits: I used red grapes strawberries, and raspberries to keep the colors vibrant but also similar. I think blueberries, pineapple, or grapefruit slices would also be delicious
- 2-3 cheeses: I try to pick up a variety of flavors at Kroger/Whole Foods cheese bar - they often have smaller wrapped cheeses for less than $5 as a ‘buy it and try it’ perfect for a board like this you don’t want to get stuck with an $20 aged bleu cheese that you don’t like
- 6-8 desserts/snacks that have crunch: oreos chocolate covered almonds, yogurt covered cranberries, pretzels, marshmallows, chocolate chips, fresh baguette
- Other suggestions: include jerky meat sticks, or salami if you want an extra salty bite. You could do a ‘candy’ inspired board or stick with a classic
Instructions
- A few things I alway aim for is to make the board look full, intentional, and most importantly ... YUMMY! Food is art so get creative and have fun with it! A few tips I do have for building a well placed board include:Use different sized bowls or different shapes even:
- Spread the most vibrant colored foods around the board to make it extra visually appealing and create contrast amongst the other foods/colors.
- Place similarly shaped foods apart from each other to create more texture and variety in the space.
- Fill the board up but don't overcrowd things! Leave enough space for everything to "breathe" and make it easy to actually pick the food up from the spread.
