Instructions

Make the Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

  • Wash and dry the strawberries very well. Dry the maraschino cherries.
  • Melt 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds until melted or use a double boiler.
  • If using a double boiler, add an inch of water to a small pot and place a heat proof glass bowl on top, making sure the bowl is not touching the water.
  • Pour 5 ounces of chocolate chips into the bowl and bring up to a simmer. Use a spatula to whisk the chocolate until melted.
  • Dip the fruit into the chocolate and place on a parchment lined plate until the chocolate has solidified.

Arrange the Dessert Board

  • Fill bowls with mascarpone cheese and another bowl with jam and assemble onto the cheese board. Garnish the mascarpone cheese with dried rose petals or jam.
  • Arrange the cheeses around the cheese board, evenly spaced out.
  • Add the honeycomb next to the blue cheese and arrange the chocolate dipped strawberries and cherries.
  • Nestle the crackers, cookies and macarons around the cheese and in the large areas.
  • Fill in the gaps with fresh fruit, nuts and pieces of chocolate bar.

Notes

  • Measurements of cheeses are estimates, but a good rule of thumb is 2 ounces of each cheese, per person. 
  • Let cheese come to room temperature 30 minutes before serving.
