Charcuterie Dessert Board Ideas
Looking for some ideas on the internet to make my own dessert charcuterie board for the holidays I honestly had a hard time choosing form so many awesome ideas out there, yes, sometimes the more options you have, the harder it is to choose from, So I decided to gather some of my favorite ideas out there and share them with you!
Here is a list of some ingredients you can use. Remember “the sky is the limit” when it comes to options! But here are some you might find a good idea to add to your board to satisfy every sweet tooth:

- Fruits: fresh, dried or candied

- Salty / sweet snacks: chocolate-covered pretzels, popcorn, caramelized nuts.
- Frostings, fudges and glazes: Chocolate or caramel sauce, vanilla buttercream, marshmallow dip, etc.

How To Build a Dessert Charcuterie Board
- Pick a theme, (birthday, holiday, dinner party) That will help you choose your ingredients.
- Keep in mind your setting in case you have easy melting ingredients during a hot summer garden party or so.
- Lay out all of your treats, desserts, candy, fruit, etc. so you can have a visual on all sizes, shapes and colors.
- Bring out your board (it can be a cutting board, tray, serving plate if you don’t have a charcuterie board)
- Start of the center of your board alternating sizes, colors and flavors creating shapes if you like to crate more visual interest.
- You can use small bowls or ramekins for smaller ingredients, nuts, fudges, or even ice cream!
- If needed, place some cutlery near by.
- Garnish with fresh fruit or flowers (If you want to level your dessert board up, you can find edible fresh flowers at your grocery store!).
- Serve and indulge!
