Dessert Charcuterie Board

This week, I was inspired to create a charcuterie board with a very non-traditional take. Generally, charcuterie boards are an assortment of meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts, slices of bread, or crackers in their traditional form.

Instead of a savory taste, I opted for a sugar rush vibe filled with pastries, desserts, and fresh fruits. If you love sweets like I do but have difficulty choosing how to satisfy your sweet tooth, you can graze on a little bit of everything from the menu to please your taste buds with this new creative plot twist.

Supplies:

Wooden cheese board
Small bowl for the chocolate dip
Metal pail lined with parchment or wax paper

Dessert, Pastries, & Fruits:

Brownies
Bear claws
Mini cupcakes in assorted flavors
Shortbread cookies
Chocolate chip cookies
Lemon pound cake
Cinnamon rolls
Pecan braids
Chocolate croissants
Doughnuts
Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers (follow package instructions)
Grapes
Strawberries
Raspberries
Blueberries
Mimosas

Assembling Your Dessert Charcuterie Board

If an all dessert-themed board isn't your cup of tea, try one of these fun themes instead:

S'mores
Breakfast/Brunch
Baked Potato

I want to emphasize that you don't need a party or special occasion to appreciate a charcuterie board. Build one with your partner for date night, take it on an outdoor picnic, or just relax in your backyard on a warm summer's night. The possibilities are simply endless!
