While still cold, unwrap the Brie and, using a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a pumpkin shape from the center of the Brie wheel. Place both pieces of Brie on the board, and fill the empty pumpkin-shaped space with orange marmalade.

Place each of the baked sweets on the board. Overlap any stackable cookies or brownies, developing a slight circular or zigzag shape as you place them.

Set two small ramekins on the board. Fill one with cornichons and the other with mustard.

Arrange the sliced cheeses around the board, with the slices overlapping, in a semi-circle or slightly rounded pattern, working your way around the larger items already on the board. Next, place any diced cheeses in small mounds.

Place the meats on the board (preferably avoiding touching the sweet items). Overlap any folded or sliced meats, and stack the rolled meat into a small pyramid.

Arrange the crackers on the board, overlapping, around the other larger items.

Arrange the sliced fruit and any whole fruits, stacking or overlapping where necessary.

Fill any remaining space with pistachios, popcorn, candy corn or other candies, so that the entirety of the board is covered, and the colors and textures are all balanced evenly across the board.

Lastly, if using, place sprigs of rosemary in a few places on the board, and add any Halloween decor you like. These decorations can sit on top of any items already on the board.

Serve immediately, or cover and place in the fridge for no more than a few hours before serving.

This is such a fun recipe to make! You can follow it to the letter or you can change it around to suit your tastes and/or your dietary needs. It can also be adapted for any budget. The possibilities are endless!

Thanksgiving Turkey Dessert Board

pear

Pumpkin Roll (sliced into 1/4 inch slices)

12-16 Maple Sandwich Cookies (or other fall themed sandwich cookies)

12-14 Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies

Pumpkin Madeleines or other Madeleine cookies

mini fall themes cupcakes

candy corn

I used a 24 inch pumpkin board for this recipe but a round board works just as well. That’s the board I used in the Dessert Boards cookbook.

Place the pear half at the bottom center of the board.

Arrange the pumpkin roll around the edge of the board to form a circle starting and ending at the pear.

Repeat the pattern with the cookies, sugar cookies, madeleines and fill in any leftover spaces with the cupcakes and candy corn. You may not use all of the ingredients depending on the size of your board and that’s ok.

Create the eyes and nose with the cloves (or candy eyes) and candy corn.

The legs are made with a piece of pretzel and candy corn.

Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and serve within 6-8 hours.
