Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Green grapes
- Fresh apricots or cherries (optional, seasonal)
- Creamy mascarpone cheese
- Mild brie cheese
- Tangy goat cheese log
- Mini chocolate eggs or pastel candy-coated chocolates
- Honey-roasted almonds
- Butter cookies or shortbread (or gluten-free crackers for GF option)
- Homemade lemon curd
- Local honey
- Pretzel sticks or thin biscotti (or gluten-free crackers for GF option)
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Wash all berries and grapes thoroughly. Hull and halve strawberries. Pat dry gently with a paper towel to avoid sogginess. (10 minutes)
- Slice the brie into wedges and the goat cheese log into small rounds. Place mascarpone in a small bowl with a butter knife for spreading. Ensure cheeses are at room temperature by taking them out about 20 minutes before serving. (5 minutes)
- Spoon lemon curd into a ramekin. Place a small jar or bowl of honey nearby with a drizzle spoon or small fork. (2 minutes)
- Place cheese bowls and ramekins spaced evenly on your board to form anchor points. (2 minutes)
- Arrange berries, grapes, and apricots in small clusters around the cheeses and dips. Add mini chocolate eggs and candies in small piles for color bursts. (8 minutes)
- Nestle pretzel sticks and cookies between fruit clusters for texture contrast. Keep some cookies close to the lemon curd for dipping. (3 minutes)
- Scatter fresh mint leaves across the board for color and aroma. (1 minute)
- Fill any gaps with extra nuts or candies, ensuring the board is not overcrowded. (2 minutes)
Notes
Use room temperature cheeses for best flavor. Pat fruits dry to avoid sogginess. Keep the board chilled until 15 minutes before serving. For gluten-free options, substitute cookies and pretzels with gluten-free crackers. For vegan options, use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan chocolates. Lemon curd can be made a day ahead for deeper flavor. Avoid frozen berries as they become mushy.
