Favorite festive desserts
Charcuterie is a French term that refers to a type of cooking prepared with delicatessen, or deli-style meat products. It is pronounced as ‘‘shahr-koo-tuh-ree’’ and is often served as an appetizer. They are also very similar to Cheese Boards. These boards are a visual delight designed for a shared eating experience. An assortment of bite-sized sweet and savory treats are placed on a large wooden board aesthetically. It’s common for a charcuterie board to contain a mix of cheeses, artisan bread, olives, fruit, and nuts. Indian cuisine has its fair share of desserts or mithai, mainly prepared during the festive or holiday season. That’s why serving them like this on a tray does full justice to it. Everyone gets a tease of all the sweets prepared and desserts Charcuterie board also doubles up as a festive décor centerpiece. It’s also a great way to display leftover sweets, especially after a party for the family to enjoy or when you have guests over. There are many occasions and reasons to serve this Indian mithai board.
Suppose you plan on serving this on a festive occasion like Diwali, Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi, or Navratri. etc, then use those pretty-looking silver or brass serving trays and bowls! You can use colorful trays to suit the occasion. You don’t really need to serve anything more with it because this will suffice. But if you must, then pair it with some fun party drinks (cocktails or mocktails). Encourage guests to try small bites and sips of each, for an indulgent celebration. Some other items that will pair well are pound cake cut in small pieces, fruits like strawberries, or blueberries, nuts or dry fruits, cream wafers, and Indian cookies like Nankhatai, Ghee biscuits, or Kesar Pista cookies. Depending upon the holiday, dress up the charcuterie board with edible flowers, themed toppers, sprinkles, or festive trinkets. Select mithai that are bite-sized. If some of the sweets are bigger, you can cut them into smaller pieces. To help with the layout, use a picture, drawing, or template for reference. Balance with something savory if you feel the sweets are too overpowering. Like this recipe? Please show your love by leaving a 5-star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟rating below!
