Gather these ingredients to make your Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Cups:

  • 6–8 mini cups (clear plastic or glass)
  • 6 oz sharp cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
  • 6 oz brie cheese, sliced
  • 4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz salami, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup strawberries, halved
  • ½ cup raspberries

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate-covered strawberries or chocolates
  • 1/3 cup candied pecans or walnuts
  • 1–2 small heart-shaped cookie cutters (optional)
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

  1. Slice the Cheeses: Cut the sharp cheddar cheese into cubes and slice the brie into small wedges or rounds.
  2. Prepare the Meats: Arrange the prosciutto and salami slices neatly on a cutting board for easy portioning.
  3. Slice the Fruits: Halve the strawberries, grapes, and any other fruits you’d like to include. Keep everything bite-sized.
  4. Make the Garnishes: If using, use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut shapes from slices of cheese or other fruits for a decorative touch.

Assemble the Cups:

  1. Layer the Ingredients: Begin by layering the bottom of each cup with a few slices of prosciutto and salami. Add some cheese cubes, followed by a few slices of brie.
  2. Add the Fruits: Layer in the strawberries, raspberries, and grapes, making sure to fill the cup and balance the flavors with sweet and savory elements.
  3. Include the Treats: Add a few chocolate-covered strawberries or chocolates to each cup for a sweet indulgence.
  4. Top with Nuts and Garnish: Sprinkle the candied nuts over the top and garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary or thyme for a touch of greenery and elegance.

Optional Chilling:

  1. Chill the Cups: If desired, place the charcuterie cups in the fridge for about 5 minutes before serving to ensure the cheese and meats are nice and cool.
