We’re BIG fans of making epic dessert boards, snack boards, and charcuterie boards around here; especially for entertaining and even our own little celebrations. Any time I serve up a big buffet spread on a charcuterie board, our kids and guests alike line up for all of the delicious goodies that we’re serving. There’s something about the “grazing” approach to snacking that kids and grownups alike just love. We’ve done everything from create-your-own ice cream treat dessert board to a porch picnic snack charcuterie board to an Italian family dinner charcuterie board. We’ve also done an over-the-top make your own sandwich charcuterie board and so many more! And, these big, bold, delicious boards are always a rousing success.
One Epic Fruit Dessert Board
For this delicious fruit dessert board, I really wanted to take advantage of all of the yummy end-of-summer fruit. Everything from peaches to cherries, watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. I liked the idea of adding in a few delicious fruit dips to encourage all of the decadent dunking.
Fresh Fruit and the Yummiest Fruit Dips
The beauty of an interactive charcuterie board or dessert board is that it allows your guests to create to their heart’s content. I wanted this dessert board to be chock full of fresh fruit, plus some yummy dipping sauces to make things extra sweet.
For the chocolate dipping sauce, Nutella is always a winner. We also really like Nocciolata Hazelnut & Cocoa Spread as a dairy free chocolate hazelnut alternative and kosher chocolate spread, another amazing dairy free chocolate fruit spread.

To Make the Fruit Board
