Snowman Charcuterie Board (Cheese Plate)
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.
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!!!
