Are you looking for a fun and stylish way to jazz up your next gathering? We’ll let you in on a little secret: charcuterie cups have been trending, and they’re here to stay! These little delights are perfect for any occasion, providing a mix of flavors and a delightful presentation that will have your guests buzzing. Let us show you how easy it is to create these cute charcuterie cups at home!

Why Charcuterie Cups?

Charcuterie cups are the perfect blend of convenience and charm. Unlike traditional charcuterie boards, these single-serve portions make it easy for everyone to grab their own and mingle, without the need for constant hovering over the table. Plus, they look super adorable!

What You’ll Need

To start crafting these delicious cups, gather a variety of your favorite charcuterie staples. Here’s what we usually like to include, but feel free to mix and match according to your tastes. 

Of course, you can make your charcuterie cups sweet, savory, or a combination of both! (Grab the “recipe” for these cups below).

• Miniature Cheese Selections: Think cubes of cheddar, wedges of brie, or small balls of mozzarella.
• Cured Meats: Thin slices of salami, prosciutto, or pepperoni are perfect.
• Crunchy Elements: Breadsticks, crackers, or pretzel sticks are great for added texture.
• Fruits and Veggies: Grapes, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices provide a refreshing contrast to the meat and cheese. Or, add some sweetness with berries or grapes.
• Extras: Don’t forget olives, nuts, or a little honey for a sweet touch! Small cookies or marshmallows are the ideal additions for a “sweets” cup.

Assembling Your Charcuterie Cups

1. Choose Your Cups: Use clear plastic or glass cups to showcase all the beautiful ingredients you’re about to add. We like these plastic champagne glasses.
2. Layer Like a Pro: Start with larger items like cheese and meats. Add a couple of breadsticks or crackers for structure, then fill in the gaps with fruits, veggies, and extras.
3. Get Creative with Presentation: A sprig of rosemary or a little edible flower on top can add a lovely, aromatic touch.
4. Personalize It: If you know your guests’ preferences, feel free to tailor each cup to suit different tastes and dietary needs.
5. Set up a charcuterie station: If you’d like, you can set out a variety of ingredients, and let your guests create their own cups.

Final Touches

Once your cups are assembled, place them on a tray or platter for easy serving. I promise you, these little cups are going to be the stars of the show! They’re not only practical but also a wonderful conversation starter.

So go ahead, get creative, and enjoy this delightful twist on the traditional charcuterie board. Your next get-together just got a whole lot more delicious!

Happy hosting!
