As the days get longer and warmer, it's the perfect time to start indulging in al fresco dining and there is no better complement to an outdoor meal than a dessert Charcuterie board. So what is a dessert Charcuterie board? It is essentially a cornucopia of flavors and sweet treats that is sure to wow any guest at your table. The key to the perfect board is having a combination of flavors, colors and sizes of ingredients. We like to focus on the rule of 3 - not more than 3 of one color, flavor or size. This will allow your board to have a lovely variety and really pop.
Here are a few ingredients we suggest trying for your board:
Fresh Fruit:
- Blackberries
- Raspberries
- Apples (thinly cut)
Dried Fruit:
- Sugar-coated orange slices
- Figs
- Golden Goji Berries
Sweet Treats:
- Giorgio Cookies
- Biscotti (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- Chocolate Chunks
Salty:
- Nuts
- Salted Caramels
