- 4 mini pecan pies
- 4 mini pumpkin pies
- 4 mini blackberry pies
- 4 mini apple pies
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup cranberries
- 1 cup whipped topping
- Garnish with fresh greenery/herbs
Place the whipped topping in a medium-sized bowl and transfer to the middle of a large circle tray or wood board. From there starting on the left side, start stacking the pies by flavor. I started with pecan then it went, blackberry, pumpkin, and apple.
Add in the blackberries and cranberries in between all the pies. Finally, garnish with herbs and greenery.
Serve and enjoy!
Expert Tips
-
- Be sure to leave the whipped topping in the refrigerator until right before serving.
-
- Nutrition information will vary depending on which pies and ingredients you choose.
-
- Get creative with your tray! If you have a wooden board or serving tray, use that! If you have a lazy susan, that can work too! You can really make this your own with items you already have at home without needing to buy anything new.
Storage Tips
-
- If you have leftovers, I recommend wrapping the dessert charcuterie board in plastic wrap and storing in the refrigerator.
-
- If you don’t have enough space in the fridge for the original board, move the desserts to an airtight container and store.
- Eat within a few days for optimal freshness.
