Fall Mini Pie Charcuterie
Serve a Fall Mini Pie Charcuterie, a dessert board with mini pies–pumpkin, pecan, apple, sweet potato–served with spiced cream and fruit.
Friends, just in time for an autumn gathering, you can grab the shopping list for this Fall Mini Pie Dessert Board. We so love this “mini pie charcuterie” dessert, and we think your guests will, too! Inspired from our Epic Summer Mini Pie Board — these dessert boards are a big party hit!
Fall Mini Pie Charcuterie
This mini pie board is epic for a large gathering! Maybe it’s a harvest party, where you are in charge of desserts (you can really stack the pies high), or you’re hosting a fall dessert party!
Why we love this board
We love setting out a dessert board because you can make them ahead, all the desserts are in one place, and who doesn’t love pie?
When we saw these mini pies at Walmart, we grabbed 4 fall flavors for the board.
It’s fun to serve whipped cream smack dab in the center of the board.
And everyone serves themselves! This pie orignated back in 2019 and we now have our own line of charcuterie boards (info below).

This is such a fun dessert idea for hosting! Mix up your favorite mini pies and serve with fresh whipping cream.
Think pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple pie, and feel free to add berry pies! And you can buy sweet potato pie.
Dessert parties are fun, and they take the stress off of having to cook the entire meal.
How do you make the spiced whipped cream?
- To make the fresh whipped cream, in a medium bowl pour the heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer (or stand mixer), beat the cream until barely thick (for about 2-3 minutes). Don’t over-beat the cream.
- Add the powdered sugar and spices and continue to mix (or you can mix with a large spoon).
Tips and substitutions:
- My signature type of hosting is usually with a board like this, unless I’m having just a couple of friends over, and we’re grazing over small appetizers before dinner.
- Make a spiced whipped cream and set in the center of the board. You can make the board ahead and leave the space in the middle for the whipped cream. Keep whipped cream in fridge until ready to serve!
- Think seasonal, you can make a spring dessert charctuerie, or a summer mini pie board, or a winter dessert board. Think fruit in season and what pies would go best on the board, and what is available to buy in the store.
- Want to make your own mini pies?
- Optional to add cookies and other desserts.
How to assemble a pie board
- On a 26-inch board (with a lip), in the center of the board, place a large bowl of fresh spiced whipped cream.
- Arrange the pies and fruits around the whipped cream.
- Fill in the open spaces with pecan halves.
- Optional to sprinkle the whipped cream with cinnamon and sugar.
- Serve and enjoy!
Will you be hosting a Halloween party or Thanksgiving this year?
Whatever kind of hosting you are doing, grab a board with a lip. This will help the food stay in one place. Especially if you are going to transport the food, it’s basically a big tray with sides on it, so the food does not slide off.
This post, How to make a Fall Cheese Board, is another fun one!

Can you tell me please where I can find the large board like the one pictured above? It looks like it is a metal tray with deep sides.
Here are our big boards. The one in photo is from years ago (no longer available and it was NOT food safe). WE have many sizes, here.
This one uses a 24โ board. The Big Board comes in 20โ or 26โ would you recommend going up or down in size? I donโt want one too big in fear I would need a lot more to fill it, but I also donโt want to get one and it be too small. I found the Mosaรฏk brand dishes and I would like the option to do this or the summer pie boards.
Honestly, you can go either way, but I’d probably grab the 26-inch.
Hi, I am looking for the provider of the triangle dishes you used in last years fall pie board. I found but now I cannot find again.
Do you have that link? Thanks
They are Mozaik brand.
