cheese selection

A great cheese board is all about variety and balance. When selecting cheeses, aim for a mix of different textures and flavors. The ideal board includes a variety of soft, semi-soft, hard, blue, and aged cheeses to provide a complete tasting experience.

Soft cheeses like Brie, Camembert, and Burrata offer a creamy, buttery consistency that melts in your mouth. These cheeses are typically mild in flavor and serve as an excellent starting point for cheese newcomers.

Semi-soft cheeses such as Havarti, Fontina, and Gouda strike a balance between creamy and firm textures. They are versatile options that pair well with most accompaniments and appeal to a wide range of palates.

Hard cheeses including Manchego, Parmesan, and Aged Cheddar bring a firm bite and more concentrated flavors to your board. These cheeses often have nutty, savory profiles that contrast beautifully with sweeter elements.

Blue cheeses such as Gorgonzola, Stilton, and Roquefort contribute bold, tangy flavors that add complexity to your selection. While sometimes polarizing, a small portion of blue cheese provides a wonderful flavor contrast for more adventurous guests.

Aged cheeses like Gruyère, Comté, and Pecorino Romano deliver deep, rich flavors developed through the aging process. These cheeses offer complexity and depth that rounds out your cheese board experience.

Now let’s dive into the best combinations for different themes:

Classic Cheese Board: Brie, Cheddar, Gouda, and Blue Cheese create a well-balanced selection.
Fancy Cheese Board: Triple Crème, Aged Gruyère, and Truffle Cheese provide an upscale experience.
Seasonal Cheese Board: Fresh Goat Cheese with herbs is perfect for spring, while Smoked Cheddar pairs beautifully with fall flavors.
Regional Cheese Board: For an Italian theme, include Parmigiano-Reggiano, Taleggio, and Gorgonzola. A French board could feature Brie, Roquefort, and Comté.

Portioning Tip: When planning your cheese board, allow approximately two to three ounces of cheese per person for an appetizer or pre-dinner offering. If the cheese board will serve as the main event or centerpiece of your gathering, increase the amount to four to five ounces per person to ensure everyone leaves satisfied..

pairings and accents

No cheese board is complete without thoughtfully selected accompaniments. The right pairings enhance the flavors of your cheeses and create a more dynamic tasting experience.

Meats: Options like prosciutto, soppressata, salami, and chorizo provide a savory contrast to the cheeses.
Crackers and Bread: A mix of textures, such as a crispy baguette slices, grissini, crostini, and gluten-free seed crackers, ensures variety.
Fruits and Nuts: Fresh fruits like grapes, apples, and figs add a juicy sweetness, while dried fruits such as apricots and cherries offer a concentrated flavor. Nuts like almonds, pecans, walnuts, marcona almonds, cashews, and pistachios bring a delightful crunch.
Spreads and Condiments: Honey, fig jam, grainy mustard, balsamic glaze, preserves, and tapenade complement different cheeses beautifully.
Fresh Herbs: A sprig of rosemary or thyme adds both visual appeal and aromatic depth to the board.

board styling tips

The arrangement of your cheese board significantly impacts both its visual appeal and functionality. Follow these styling techniques to create an impressive and user-friendly spread:

Start with the Cheese: Place large cheese wedges on the board first, and pre-slice a few pieces to encourage guests to dig in.
Layer in Meats and Carbs: Fold slices of meat for a decorative touch and fan out the crackers and bread for easy access.
Add Fruits, Nuts, and Extras: Use fresh fruits, nuts, and spreads to fill any empty spaces, creating a bountiful and inviting look.
Balance Colors and Textures: Incorporate a mix of creamy, crumbly, and crunchy textures, and contrast bright fruits with rich cheeses.
Use Small Bowls and Utensils: Contain sticky spreads and condiments in small dishes to keep the board neat and organized.

cheese board drink pairings

The right beverages enhance the flavors of your cheese selection and complete the tasting experience. Consider these pairing suggestions for your next gathering.

Wine Pairings:
- Soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert pair well with Champagne or Chardonnay.
- Hard cheeses like Cheddar and Gouda complement Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
- Blue cheeses such as Gorgonzola and Stilton go well with Port or a sweet Riesling.
Beer Pairings:
- Aged cheeses pair well with stout or amber ale.
- Soft and creamy cheeses go nicely with wheat beer or a pilsner.
Cocktail and Non-Alcoholic Options:
- Aged cheeses complement the deep flavors of an Old Fashioned.
- An aperol spritz or a limoncello spritz is a delightful, refreshing option for any cheese board.
- Citrus spritzers or sparkling water provide a refreshing non-alcoholic pairing.

storage tips

Proper preparation and storage ensure your cheese board remains fresh and delicious throughout your gathering.

When preparing in advance, assemble most components of your board a few hours before your event, but keep the cheeses wrapped separately to prevent them from drying out. Add them to the board about 30-60 minutes before serving to allow them to reach the ideal serving temperature.

For storing leftovers, separate cheese from meats and fruits to maintain freshness. Wrap cheeses individually in wax or parchment paper rather than plastic wrap, as this allows them to breathe while preventing them from drying out.

If your cheese hardens slightly after being left out, don’t worry. Simply let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving again. This will restore its texture and enhance its flavor for continued enjoyment.

can I make a cheese board on a budget?

Yes! Focus on three to four affordable yet flavorful cheeses and enhance the board with cost-effective accompaniments like nuts, olives, and seasonal fruit.

how do I create a cheese board for dietary restrictions?

For gluten-free guests, use gluten-free crackers. If you need alternatives for dairy-free guests, offer nut-based cheeses. For vegetarians, replace meats with marinated vegetables.

Blueberry Mojito

POSTED BY Meghan Y. ON March 19, 2025 // Leave a Comment

Bright, flavorful, and oh-so-refreshing, this Blueberry Mojito is the ultimate cocktail for spring and summer gatherings. With its gorgeous purple-blue hue and sweet-tart flavor, this twist on the classic mojito is impossible to resist.

about this blueberry mojito

I am so ready for the winter to be over! I want to feel the sun on my face as I sip this refreshing Blueberry Mojito by the pool. This twist on the classic rum cocktail brings a burst of fresh blueberry flavor, elevating both its taste and its look. Trust me, this drink will become your new go-to for any summer party or get-together.

Not only does this cocktail taste amazing, but it’s also visually stunning with its deep purple tones, making it an Instagram-worthy addition to your parties. Even better, because the recipe is so simple, you can whip it up in just five minutes.

Do you need to mix things up for a bigger crowd? Don’t worry! This recipe is easy to scale into a big-batch version, so no one has to miss out on the fun. And we would not want that!

ingredients

Blueberries – Fresh is best for ultimate flavor, but you can use frozen blueberries in a pinch. Just make sure to thaw and drain.

Lime Juice – Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a bright tanginess that ties everything together.

Raw Sugar – Adds just the right amount of sweetness, plus it tastes the best, in my opinion. If you prefer, you can use simple syrup, agave, or honey as the sweetener. Use ¼ ounce to ½ ounce, depending on how sweet you like your cocktail.

Mint Leaves – Fresh mint leaves are a must for that signature mojito aroma and flavor. Be sure to have an extra mint sprig on hand for garnish!

Rum – A white rum like Havana Club Añejo Blanc or Denizen Aged White Rum adds flavor without overpowering the drink. It is a great mid-range price point and they are excellent quality. Of course, purchase your favorite that works for your budget.

Soda Water – Also known as club soda or seltzer water, this gives the cocktail its refreshing fizz. Unflavored soda water provides a light fizz to bring the cocktail to life.

Ice – Because no one likes a warm mojito!

this recipe’s must-haves

To make this blueberry mojito, you’ll need the following bar tools (don’t worry, there are easy hacks if you don’t have them!):

Well friends, we must smash up our blueberries and mint to release their flavors. This muddler is easy to use and clean! No muddler? Use the back of a wooden spoon or any kitchen utensil with a flat surface.

For measuring your rum and lime juice with precision, use a Jigger. If you do not have one, you can just use a measuring cup. Mix, mix, mix! To ensure that everything mixes together smoothly, use a Cocktail Stirring Spoon.

here’s how to make this blueberry mojito

muddle

Start by adding the blueberries, mint leaves, raw sugar, and lime juice to a tall cocktail glass. Using a muddler, gently press and twist to release the juices and oils from the blueberries and mint without over-crushing the mint.

stir

Pour the white rum into the muddled mixture and give it a good stir.

top off

Fill the glass with ice, then top it with soda water. Stir gently to combine everything.

garnish and serve

Garnish with a sprig of mint and some extra blueberries. Now, sip and savor your refreshing Blueberry Mojito!

tips and tricks

Use Fresh Ingredients – Of course, whenever possible, use fresh blueberries, fresh lime juice, and mint for the best flavor. Frozen blueberries can be used but thaw and drain them first.

Go easy on the mint – When muddling the mint, don’t crush it too much. A gentle press is all you need to avoid any bitterness sneaking into your drink.

Sweeten it your way – If you are not a fan of super sweet drinks, start with less sugar and add more if needed. Make it just right for you.

Chill your glass – Want an extra refreshing mojito? Stick your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before making your drink. Frosty and perfect!

can I Make this non-alcoholic?

Absolutely! Just leave out the rum and top the drink with sparkling water or a flavored soda for a refreshing mocktail.

can I use a different berry?

Yes! Raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries work beautifully in place of blueberries. You could even do a mix of berries for something unique.

what kind of rum should I use?

White rum is the standard for mojitos because it’s light and pairs well with the fruity flavors. For a slightly bolder and spiced flavor, you can try a dark rum to make a “dirty mojito.”

Baileys Cheesecake

POSTED BY Meghan Y. ON March 17, 2025 // Leave a Comment

Rich, velvety Baileys cheesecake is a grown-up dessert that balances creamy Irish cream with a crunchy chocolate crust and smooth Baileys ganache. It is creamy, boozy, and just the right amount of sweet. Easy to make, impossible to resist!

about this baileys cheesecake

If you love a creamy cheesecake and Irish cream, this Baileys cheesecake was made for you. This is the kind of dessert that makes people close their eyes on the first bite in pure delight. Which is always my ultimate goal whenever anyone sits down at my dinner table.

There are three important parts to this baileys cheesecake. The crust is made of crunchy chocolate graham crackers, with just the right amount of sweetness to pair with the other flavors of this dessert.

Then there’s the filling, which is the perfect cheesecake texture. This filling base recipe is one that I use for all of my cheesecake recipes you find here on the site because it really is that good. It’s not too dense, and not too light. Simply put, it just melts in your mouth. This filling has Irish cream liqueur to add warmth, but also a hint of espresso which boosts the Baileys flavor.

The final piece is the Baileys chocolate ganache – glossy, chocolatey, and spiked with just a touch of that Irish cream liqueur to tie it all together. The silky and rich topping sets to just the right texture. I would eat it straight off the spoon, honestly. It’s just that good.

There are a few steps to making this recipe, but it’s well worth the time and it is my favorite make-ahead dessert, especially for dinner parties and gatherings. Make it the day before and you’ll be ready to serve it the next day easily!

ingredients

graham crackers. Chocolate graham crackers form the crust of this cheesecake! You could also use chocolate wafer cookies or Oreos (no need to remove the filling).

sugar. All you need is granulated sugar for this recipe.

butter. We recommend using unsalted butter for this recipe. If you choose to use salted butter, omit the salt called for in the recipe.

cream cheese. Be sure to soften the cream cheese to room temp before using it in the recipe. This will make it much easier to form the smooth filling.

flour. You only need all-purpose flour for this recipe.

salt. Fine kosher salt is recommended for all baking recipes.

vanilla. Did you know it’s super easy to make your own homemade vanilla extract? This is our recommendation, but if you prefer to purchase it, our favorite is this Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract from Nielsen Massey.

eggs. Use large eggs for this recipe. Bring them to room temperature first.

Irish cream. We like to use Baileys Irish Cream for this recipe, but you can use your favorite brand of Irish cream.

espresso powder. This doesn’t necessarily give a coffee taste to the filling, it compliments the flavor of the Irish cream and chocolate.

chocolate. You can use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate for the topping. We usually use dark chocolate (70% to 80%).

heavy cream. The heavy whipping cream is used in the topping to form the base of the ganache with the chocolate and Irish cream.

this recipe’s must-haves

For this recipe, you will need a 9-inch springform pan for baking the crust and the cheesecake.

Use a food processor to turn the graham crackers into crumbs for the crust.

To make the filling, you will need a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. You could also use a hand mixer and a large bowl if that’s what you have on hand.

For the topping, you’ll need a saucepan and a heat-safe bowl (I use one of my stainless steel mixing bowls for this).

here’s how to make baileys cheesecake

make crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Process graham crackers in a food processor until they become fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and mix in the sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened and begin to clump together.

Press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan, covering the bottom and extending about 2 inches up the sides. Bake until the crust becomes fragrant, approximately 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.

make filling

Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F.

Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened cream cheese, flour, and salt until smooth and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Add sugar and beat until well combined. Mix in the vanilla, Irish cream, and espresso powder until fully incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Pour the filling into the cooled crust.

bake

Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes.

The cheesecake is done when it’s set around the edges but still has a slight jiggle in the center (similar to Jello). Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature.

chill

Once the cheesecake has cooled completely, place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.

make topping

About 1 hour before serving, prepare the ganache topping. Place chocolate in a medium heat-safe bowl.

Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Immediately pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let the mixture stand for 1 to 1 ½ minutes without disturbing it. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and the chocolate is completely melted. Add Irish cream and whisk to incorporate.

Pour the ganache evenly over the chilled cheesecake. Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the topping to set before slicing and serving.

tips & tricks

soften cream cheese. Be sure to soften the cream cheese to room temperature before starting this recipe. If you don’t, you will end up with a lumpy filling and the cream cheese won’t completely break down.

you don’t need a water bath. You don’t need a water bath to bake cheesecake in this recipe! I use the base of this cheesecake for all my cheesecake recipes, and it works every single time. No water bath necessary.

can you get drunk off baileys cheesecake?

No, you cannot get drunk off baileys cheesecake. The alcohol is baked off in the cheesecake, and there is a very minor amount in the ganache.

can I serve this to kids or eat it while pregnant?

Since the ganache has alcohol in it, and it is not cooked off, we do not recommend serving this to anyone under the age of 21. It is also advisable to avoid it if you are pregnant (you should consult your doctor as we are not doctors ourselves!). However, if you do not include the ganache, you can serve it to kids and someone who is pregnant, since this alcohol in the cheesecake filling is baked off.

can I use regular graham crackers for the crust?

You can use regular graham crackers for the crust, but the chocolate goes better with the baileys cheesecake filling and ganache. Alternatively, you could use chocolate wafer cookies, if you prefer. If you do, use the weight measurement as indicated in the recipe card below. You could also use Oreos!

what to serve with this baileys cheesecake recipe

If you are looking for something to serve with a slice of this baileys cheesecake, we recommend pairing it with a cozy mug of Irish coffee.

how to store

Store. Leftover cheesecake should be stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. It will last for up to 5 days.

Freeze. Wrap leftovers tightly in a layer of plastic wrap, then a layer of aluminum foil. We like to wrap individual slices, but you can also wrap a large chunk. Freeze for up to 1 month.

Thaw. Thaw frozen cheesecake overnight in the fridge, then enjoy cold.
