Dessert Charcuterie Board Ideas
Swap meat and cheese for chocolate, cookies and fruit. Dessert boards are easy, colourful and the first thing to disappear at any party.
Quick answer
A dessert charcuterie board needs a dip in the centre (chocolate, Nutella, caramel or cheesecake dip), fruit (strawberries, raspberries, pineapple), cookies and brownies, something crunchy (pretzels, wafers) and small sweets to fill gaps. Strawberries plus chocolate dip plus pretzels is the unbeatable combination.
