Instructions
- Prepare the board: Use a large round wooden board with a handle to resemble the shape of a pumpkin, providing the perfect base for the charcuterie arrangement.
- Create facial features: Place three triangle-shaped cookie cutters on the board to form the pumpkin’s eyes and nose. Fill one eye with dark chocolate candy, the other eye with black olives, and the nose with blackberries for a festive look.
- Arrange the smile: Using blueberries, form a big smile shape at the bottom center of the pumpkin face to add character.
- Fill the sections: Arrange the remaining ingredients vertically in individual sections around the board, placing one ingredient per section until the entire board is filled with vibrant colors and textures.
- Finishing touch: Slice the mini cucumber and arrange the slices on the board’s handle to resemble a pumpkin stem, completing the decorative effect.
Notes
- This board is best served fresh for optimal crunch and flavor.
- Feel free to substitute any fruits or cheeses based on preference or seasonal availability.
- Use a large board to ensure ample space for ingredient arrangement.
