A fun easy way to make your charcuterie wintery and fun for the holidays or any winter month –> Snowman Charcuterie Board (Cheese Plate).  This is great for the holidays – Christmas or New Years celebrations. You will need three white items for the middle. One large Burrata for the head with pepper corns for the eyes and mouth and a small carrot for the nose. I used a white dip (yogurt with dill, garlic powder and two pinches of salt) in a white container. The third white circle was cooked brie with pecans, maple syrup and fig jam. Best to use white containers.

You can use any three options of round cheese, or 3 dips in white bowls, or a variety. Lively Life’s vegan cheese recipe is a great option, it’s so good, high in protein, and good fats. 

Add what you like, options include: berries, grapes, fruit or veggies sliced, olives, cheeses, sliced uncured meat, fish options and crackers or pretzels. Add a few dates or dark chocolate squares for sweet addition. Want to add fermented foods – use yogurt or fermented cottage cheese as your dip base, add sauerkraut or kimchi in a small bowl (could be one of your snowballs for the snowman).

In this charcuterie board – you have great options for healthy fats, proteins, fiber through veggies, dates, crackers. ENJOY! and have fun with your celebrations with family and friends.

Snowman Charcuterie Board (Cheese Plate)

Lively Life

A fun way to make your charcuterie wintery and fun for the holidays or any winter month. You need three white items for the middle – any three options of round cheese, or 3 dips in white bowls, or a variety.

I used one large Burrata for the head, pepper corns for the eyes and mouth (I wouldn't suggest eating them!) then a small carrot for the nose. I used a white dip (yogurt with dill, garlic powder and two pinches of salt) in a white container. Third white circle – I used cooked brie with pecans, maple syrup and fig jam).

You can use Lively Life's vegan cheese recipe which I love making – its so good, high in protein, and good fats.

Servings 7 people

Equipment

• 1 Boos Block Wooden Cutting Board

Ingredients

  

• 1 burrata large
• 1 yoghurt dip with dill, garlic powder, pinches of salt
• 1 brie melt with pecans, maple syrup, fig or other jam
• 1 jar olives one or two colors
• 2 uncured meat packages I used toothpicks to make the rippled meat
• 1 package berries or frozen but put them in a small bowl cause they will give off water as they melt
• 2 packages crackers Love Nut-thins and Simple Mills. Here I made Sour Dough Crackers. Recipe coming soon.
• others dates, dark chocolate, sauerkraut or kimchi in a small bowl

Instructions

 

• Place the three white snowman items in the middle, add peppercorns for eyes and mouth, and small end of carrot for the nose.
• Start adding additions as suggested above – and have fun creating your platter starting near the snowman and going out from there. Do Spirals, or straight lines, variety is great.
• For the uncured meat – I used toothpicks to ripple them to get the look. A great idea could be ripple uncured meat, cheese piece and tomato or olive on a toothpick so people can pick up the toothpick and enjoy!
• Have a bowl for used toothpicks.
• Think about keeping anything more wet or damp – like olives away from the crackers.
• Have fun! People will enjoy your platter. Happy Winter!!!
