Have you seen the butter boards that are trending on TikTok? Here’s how to make one, as well as other decadent options, to impress your guests.

While they have been getting more and more attention over the last few years thanks to social media, grazing boards have been around for a long time. They let you serve ready-to-eat snacks, ranging from fruit to meat to cheese, in a rustic and aesthetically pleasing way. The latest offshoot of these platters that are trending on TikTok is butter boards. And yes, they are as decadent as they sound!

While butter boards have been the primary focus, this trend can really be used to present and serve any kind of semi-soft substance. Other examples of these include cream cheese boards and dessert boards. You could even make all three to cater for one event!

Butter boards are trending on TikTok and are a centrepiece that makes hosting a breeze! Here’s how to make them.

1. Butter Board

The board that started it all, butter boards look a whole lot better on your table than a knife and a tub of margarine!

What You Need

• Butter
• Chilli oil
• Roasted garlic
• Chives, chopped
• Toasted bread or crackers

Assemble It

Apply the butter first in a creative way. You could create cut-out rounds, piped blobs or smear on petal shapes using a knife. Then drizzle with the chilli oil, sprinkle with the garlic and chives and serve with some toasted bread or crackers.

2. Cream Cheese Board

Another soft and savoury substance that works well on a board, a cream cheese board will be a hit with guests.

What You Need

• Cream cheese
• Smoked salmon
• Capers
• Red onion
• Fresh dill
• Toasted bagels

Assemble It

Apply the cream cheese to the board in a decorative way, just as you would when making butter boards. Add the salmon, either shredded into strips or rolled into roses. Sprinkle with the capers, onion and dill and serve with toasted bagels.

• Toasted almonds
• Raspberries
• Blueberries
• Heart sprinkles
• Gold dust

Assemble It

As you would with a butter board, add the chocolate spread to a board in an aesthetically pleasing way. Sprinkles with the almonds, berries and sprinkles, drizzle with the melted white chocolate and garnish with gold dust. Stunning!
