Instructions
- For our holiday dessert charcuterie board, we placed a small bowl in the center in order to mimic the shape of a wreath, and then arranged the sweet treats.
- We placed the Little Debbie Christmas Cakes on the board first because they were the larger items, and then we piled up some other spacious items like marshmallow pops, cocoa bombs, and candy canes.
- Next, we arranged other medium and small items such as meringues, macaroons, and pretzels.
- Finally, we filled in a few empty spaces with peppermint kisses, and also arranged fresh basil and rosemary around the board and in the center to form a wreath.
- We tried to separate items that had the same/similar colors.
Notes
- CHOOSE DESSERTS OF YOUR CHOICE (Homemade, store-bought, or a mix of both). You don't have to add to your board the same treats that I put on mine. The best board is the one that contains desserts that your guests enjoy, avoiding food waste! Keep in mind you don't have to add one or two of each item per person. Some people don't eat every single item, especially after having a full meal (e.g. dinner).
- Tips For Making A Dessert Charcuterie
- How to assemble a dessert charcuterie board
- Go For Height!– Instead of keeping the items flat, make a pile. This will save space and will be more appealing to the eyes!
- Use dishes if needed – A few items such as chocolate truffles and fruits may need to be served in a bowl instead of being stacked directly on the board.
- Add color – Make it colorful but keep in mind the theme of your dessert charcuterie board and the season. Pick items with different shapes and colors!
- Pay attention to the arrangement – space out things that have the same color (e.g. white marshmallows and meringues), or sometimes things that have the same shape or belong to the same category (e.g. cookies). This makes the dessert board more visually appealing!
- Pick a theme!
- Make or buy items with different colors and according to your theme.
- Choose your board and extra dishes according to the number of people you will be serving.
- Add a centerpiece: this helps you to arrange the board easily. I placed an empty bowl in the center in order to arrange the items and convey a wreath.
- Plate your bowls first as symmetrically as possible. Bowls also help add height as well!
- Arrange the larger items or the ones that have a larger amount first (they will take up more space) and then add the rest of your treats.
- Try to place same category items (e.g. different types of cookies) on opposite sides. This helps the flow when it is time for people to serve themselves.
- Fill some holes or tiny spaces with small items.
