Introduction

A dessert charcuterie board is a fun and visually appealing way to serve a variety of sweet treats. Perfect for parties or cozy gatherings, it combines chocolates, marshmallows, and other delightful bites arranged beautifully on a board.

A wooden tray filled with colorful treats arranged in layers and sections: at the bottom left, round white chocolate balls with dark spots and dried red fruit pieces, topped with fresh green mint leaves; next, several dark brown rolled wafer sticks stacked side by side, followed by a layer of thin golden brown biscuit sticks laid neatly on top; near the center, bright red fresh strawberries, some whole and some halved, scattered among pink and white heart-shaped marshmallows. Alongside, pink wafer sticks and beige rolled wafer cones filled with pink cream sit on the right side. At the top center, a small white ramekin filled with dark chocolate sauce is surrounded by small white, pink, and brown marshmallows and colorful candy pieces. The entire setup rests on a white marbled surface with fresh green mint leaves scattered around. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Instructions

Step 1: Place your dips, such as chocolate syrup and creamy peanut butter, in small bowls positioned in the center or to the sides of the board.
Step 2: Arrange foods around the bowls in clusters. Place nuts, seeds, or small items in containers, while laying other treats directly on the board.
Step 3: Pack the dessert board full with the variety of sweets to achieve that classic, abundant charcuterie look.
Step 4: Once arranged, serve your dessert charcuterie board immediately for guests to enjoy.

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of textures by adding crunchy nuts or dried fruits to balance the sweetness.
Swap out chocolate syrup for caramel or fruit jams as alternative dips.
If preparing ahead, keep dips refrigerated and assemble the board just before serving to maintain freshness.
Add fresh berries or mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Storage

Store leftover sweets separately in airtight containers at room temperature or in the refrigerator if your house is warm. Avoid storing the board assembled to prevent sogginess. Dips like peanut butter or chocolate syrup should be refrigerated and stirred before reuse. Consume leftovers within 3–5 days for best quality.
