Whether you’re planning a cozy date night, a Galentine’s hangout with your friends, or just making something fun for yourself (because why not?), you are going to love this easy Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Board.
It looks absolutely adorable and is sure to impress with minimal effort! If you’re having trouble making the pepperoni flowers, here’s the easy YouTube tutorial I followed. Also, I uploaded my very first TikTok video today, which you can watch below to see the process in action.
Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Board Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup grapes
- Pepperoni
- 8 oz cheddar cheese block
- 8 oz swiss cheese block
- Strawberries
- Rosemary
- Serving tray
- Shot glass (helpful for making the pepperoni flowers on this board)
How to Assemble Your Valentine’s Day Charcuterie Board
1. Create a “grassy” base with grapes
Start by spreading the grapes at the bottom of your tray. This adds a nice visual contrast and makes the perfect base for your “flower garden.”

2. Chop and scatter the cheese
Cut your cheddar and Swiss cheese into cubes and sprinkle them onto the board. If you want to get fancy, you can use a small heart-shaped cutter to make some cute cheese hearts!

3. Make pepperoni roses
This part is easier than it looks! Grab a small glass and start folding a slice of pepperoni over the edge, leaving half inside and half outside. Slightly overlap each slice as you go, adding layers until it forms a full, beautiful rose. Carefully remove the rose from the glass and place it on your board.

4. Add rosemary stems
Lay sprigs of fresh rosemary under your pepperoni roses to create the illusion of stems. This small touch makes your board feel extra fancy!

5. Make strawberry hearts
Slice your strawberries and use a knife to trim them into cute heart shapes. Scatter them around the board for a pop of color and a sweet touch.


And that’s it! You’ve got an easy, adorable Valentine’s Day charcuterie board that looks stunning and tastes even better.
