Easter Dessert Charcuterie Board Idea
I made an Easter cheese board, but of course, I needed to make a dessert one, too! I wanted a bunny in the center, so I made it using a cake and plain whipped cream frosting. I loved how it turned out, it’s the cutest thing ever! Also, I found some Milka chocolate bunnies I’d never seen before and that was my sign! I’m sharing a recipe (the list of ingredients, actually) for the Easter Dessert Charcuterie Board with you, as always!

Easter Dessert Charcuterie Board
Cake in the shape of a bunny? YES, please! This Easter Dessert Charcuterie Board is the cutest thing ever, plus quick and easy to assemble. I used puff pastry and store-bought cake, but I made chocolate eggs from scratch. They are my favorite thing on this Easter board! I listed everything you need for this, but I want to hear your ideas, too!
Ingredients
For Pastries
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed)
- 2 tbsp jam
For the Cake
- 1 sheet cake (plain or carrot)
- 7 oz heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 Rafaello truffle
- 1 white chocolate truffle
For the Chocolate Eggs
- 2 oz dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp Nutella spread
- 2 tbsp hazelnuts (chopped)
Other Sweets
- 12 chocolate eggs (pastel)
- ½ cup gummy bears (pastel)
- 6 Easter chocolate bunnies
- ½ orange (sliced)
- 3 strawberries (halved)
Instructions
Make Pastries
- Mix crushed freeze-dried strawberries and brown sugar in a bowl.
- Roll out puff pastry and slice it into half an inch pieces lengthwise.
- Brush melted butter on the pastry and sprinkle the strawberry mix.
- Roll the dough a bit more than half of the length and shape the bunny ears with the rest. Fasten with a toothpick if needed.
- With a flower cookie cutter, carve the rest of the puff pastry.
- Arrange everything on a baking sheet and bake at 350 °F (180 °C) for 20 minutes or until golden on top.
- Pop the middle of the flower with a finger and fill it with jam, so it looks like a flower.
Assemble the Cake
- Take store-bought cake or bake plain or carrot cake in advance. Use cookie cutters, bowls, or glasses to cut out two circles, one bigger than the other.
- Use a box cutter or a knife to carve a set of ears.
- Whip heavy cream with some powdered sugar and crumb coat the cake. Freeze it for 10 minutes.
- Place the bunny on the central part of the board and frost. Use Rafaello truffle or whipped cream as a tail and halved white chocolate truffle as paws.
Make Chocolate Truffles
- Melt your favorite chocolate and pour it into the silicone Easter eggs mold. Toss in the freezer for 10 minutes to stiffen.
- Fill the chocolate eggs with Nutella and chopped hazelnuts.
Assemble the Board
- Arrange the puff pastry flowers under the bunny and chocolate eggs on the very top of the board.
- Place pastel chocolate eggs, chocolates, strawberries, and slices of orange around the bunny.
- Fill the ramekin bowl with pastel gummies and place it on the bottom. Next to it, place strawberry bunny rolls.
