How to Make an Easter Egg Charcuterie Board
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Start by cutting the tops off 12 strawberries, so they lay flat, with the cut side facing down. These will form the “egg” shape on your board.
2. Take your vanilla and strawberry wafers and slice them in half lengthwise. Place the halved wafers in the center of your charcuterie board, alternating the colors to create a charming striped effect.
3. Use the strawberries to form an egg shape around the wafers. Above the wafers, make three rows: the first with three strawberries, the second with two, and one strawberry at the very tip.
4. Below the wafers, make two rows: the first with four strawberries, the second with three.
4. Place two shortbread cookies in each corner of the board—top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right. Keep even spacing between each pair.
5. Fill your piping bag with green buttercream frosting and fit it with the grass piping tip. Pipe loops of frosting into any open spaces on the charcuterie board for the first layer. For a fuller “grass” effect, use a squeeze-and-pull motion to add texture.
6. Generously sprinkle pastel-colored or Easter-themed sprinkles over the buttercream grass.
7. Place two adorable chick Peeps side by side in front of each pair of shortbread cookies.
8. Nestle one or two peanut butter chocolate eggs in front of each pair of Peeps.
9. Scatter Cadbury eggs around the board to fill any empty grassy areas.
Serve and Enjoy!
Important Recipe Notes
- For board size, use a medium or large cutting board or tray so there’s enough space to arrange the treats without crowding.
- You can swap candies in any pastel or Easter-themed candy your family likes. Mini chocolate eggs, jelly beans, or small marshmallows all work.
- If you don’t have shortbread or wafers, other sturdy cookies like sugar cookies or butter cookies will work just as well.
- You can use pre-made green frosting from a tube to save time.
- Assemble the board right before serving for the freshest strawberries and best presentation.
