Ingredients:

  • 150g 72% dark chocolate bars, broken into shards
  • 100g sea salt chocolate bark
  • 0.5 cup dark chocolate covered almonds
  • 2 cups fresh organic strawberries, stems attached
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 0.5 cup fresh blackberries
  • 0.25 cup dried tart cherries
  • 0.5 cup raw walnuts
  • 0.25 cup roasted shelled pistachios
  • 4 oz raw honey
  • 4 oz goat cheese

Instructions:

  1. Place the 4 oz of goat cheese and the small jar of 4 oz raw honey on opposite sides of the board.
  2. Arrange the 150g of dark chocolate shards in a curved river through the center.
  3. Group the 2 cups of strawberries in two main sections, keeping the stems pointing toward the center.
  4. Tuck the 1 cup of raspberries and 0.5 cup of blackberries into the spaces between the chocolate and the cheese.
  5. Scatter the 0.5 cup of chocolate covered almonds and 0.25 cup of dried tart cherries in small piles near the dark chocolate shards.
  6. Fill the remaining small voids with the 0.5 cup of raw walnuts and 0.25 cup of roasted pistachios.
  7. Wait until just before serving to drizzle a tiny bit of honey over the goat cheese.
  8. Bring the board to the table and smell the mixture of berries and cacao. If the scent of the 72% chocolate isn't dominant, snap one extra shard to release more aroma.
