Love Charcuterie Boards are romantic and customizable grazing boards, perfect for date nights, Valentine’s Day, or cozy celebrations. Whether sweet or savory, these boards are beautiful to look at and fun to enjoy together.

Ingredients

  • Savory Board:
  • Cured meats (salami, soppressata)
  • Cheese (brie, cheddar, gouda, goat cheese—some shaped into hearts)
  • Crackers and sliced artisan bread
  • Fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, grapes, apple slices)
  • Nuts (almonds, candied pecans, pistachios)
  • Olives or pickles
  • Honey or fig jam
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) for garnish
  • Sweet Board:
  • Chocolate-covered strawberries
  • Heart-shaped cookies or brownies
  • Mini donuts or macarons
  • Marshmallows or meringues
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, cherries)
  • Chocolate truffles or squares
  • Dipped pretzels or wafers
  • Whipped cream or fruit dip

Instructions

  1. Choose a large board or platter and place any ramekins or bowls for dips, jams, or small items.
  2. Arrange main items first: cheeses, cured meats, or dessert focal points (cookies, chocolate).
  3. Fill in with crackers, fruits, sweets, or nuts, spreading them evenly for visual balance.
  4. Tuck in fresh herbs or edible flowers for garnish and visual appeal.
  5. Use mini cookie cutters to shape cheese, fruit, or brownies into hearts for a romantic touch.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Use a heart-shaped board or tray for a fun themed presentation.
  • Prep ingredients ahead and assemble the board just before serving.
  • Customize based on dietary needs—vegan, gluten-free, or nut-free options work too.
  • Keep it simple or make it elaborate—either way, it’s sure to impress.
