From hot chocolate boards to s’mores boards, charcuterie boards experienced a true sweet makeover recently, and that’s just the beginning. Ice cream boards are taking the world by storm this summer, and they’re changing the way we eat our favorite summer treat.
According to Delish, Edward Cooks aka @dwardcooks on TikTok is responsible for kicking off this trend. His viral video that started it all shows him loading a wooden platter with a long list of ingredients that you can use to build the ice cream of your dreams, ranging from ice cream sprinkles and wafer cones to chocolate chip cookies, mini marshmallows, chocolate pretzels, and more.

Several different flavors of ice cream are also one of the staples of ice cream boards. Cooks placed his on a giant tray filled with ice to stop them from melting too fast, but this step can be skipped if your ice cream has been properly frozen beforehand and you’re planning to eat it right away.
If you love ice cream and charcuterie boards in equal measure, this viral trend is just the thing you need in your life. It somehow managed to make ice cream even more picture-perfect and delicious, and it’s the perfect fit for your next summer party.
