Prepare the board: Choose a large wooden or slate board as the base for your dessert charcuterie. Ensure it’s clean and dry.
Arrange cheeses: Place the cheeses on the board first. Cut them into slices or wedges for easy serving.
Add chocolates and cookies: Scatter the assorted chocolates and cookies around the cheeses, leaving space for other items.
Place fresh and dried fruits: Add the fresh berries and dried fruits in small clusters to create visual appeal.
Add nuts: Sprinkle the nuts around the board, filling in any gaps.
Drizzle and garnish: Lightly drizzle honey or chocolate sauce over the board. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
Serve immediately: Enjoy your dessert charcuterie kit right away or cover lightly with plastic wrap if serving later.
