Chocolate Dessert Board
You hardly need a recipe to make a beautiful chocolate board, but I've shared quantities here in case it helps! Feel free to use any fruit, nuts, cheese, chocolate, and crackers you like here.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 12 chocolate truffles (storebought or homemade)
- 4 ounces dragées (chocolate covered candied nuts)
- 1 chocolate bar, broken up
- chocolate brownie cookies (or other cookies of your choice)
- 2 ounces honeycomb or honey
- 4 ounces soft cheese (goat cheese, aged chevre, brie, camembert, etc.)
- 4 ounces sliced semi-firm cheese (gruyere, aged cheddar, gouda, etc.)
- 1 large apple or pear (sliced and brushed with a bit of lemon juice)
- handful dried fruit (such as apricots or figs)
- 4 ounces crackers (such as gluten-free almond crackers)
- 4 ounces salted roasted nuts (pistachios, marcona almonds, etc.)
Instructions
- Arrange ingredients on a large serving board or platter. Start with the largest components (small bowls, large cheeses). Fan out fruit and cheese slices, crackers, and cookies for visual appeal and easy grabbing. Fill in the gaps with smaller components: chocolates, nuts, dried fruit.
- Add knives and spoons if needed. Serve with small plates and napkins. Pour the drink(s) of your choice, and devour!
Notes
Storebought items work wonderfully here. But if you want to give your chocolate board a homemade touch, here are a few recipes you can add:
- gluten-free chocolate cookies (shown here)
- gluten-free graham crackers
- gluten-free biscotti
- homemade chocolate truffles or vegan truffles
- chocolate pistachio cups
- paleo crackers
- persimmons
- figs
- grapes
- strawberries
- oranges or tangerines
- cherries
- jam, preserves, chutney
- chocolate spread
- nut butter or granola / cookie butter
