Notes
Other dessert board ideas that are a little less sugar:
- Focus on fruit! Pick from an assortment of berries and sliced apples. Make a naturally sweetened yogurt dip (where you control the added sugar), for some protein & healthy fats.
- Swap out a decadent chocolate cake for a light and airy angel food cake. Serve alongside loads of fruit options, and a couple of fun flavored whipped creams. Throw in a few simple sprinkle or candy options to make it a little extra festive.
- Create a cookie decorating board. Sugar cookies, alongside frosting and a couple of sprinkles and toppings. Arranged in an eye-appealing and festive way will get kids excited and ready to dig in. Plus, it creates an activity to keep little hands busy for a bit.
- Throw together a cheese and chocolate pairing, that is heavier on the chocolate. Add in some fresh fruit and nuts, and you have a well-balanced dessert board that feels decadent, but won't leave you with a sugar hangover.
