Radiant Fruit & Cheese Sunshine Platter
Turn simple snacks into a stunning centerpiece! โ๏ธ๐ This vibrant fruit and cheese board is not only a feast for the eyes but a healthy and delicious option for any gathering. Itโs fresh, colorful, and incredibly satisfying to assemble.
๐ Ingredients:
1 small wheel of Brie cheese
4 fresh strawberries, washed and stems removed
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 cups red grapes
1 block of yellow cheese (Cheddar, Gouda, or Edam), cut into cubes
3-4 kiwis, peeled and sliced into thick rounds or half-moons
4-5 mandarin oranges, peeled and separated into segments
Bamboo cocktail skewers (knot ends preferred)
๐ Directions:
1. Start by placing the wheel of Brie cheese in the exact center of a round wooden board. Slice the wheel into wedges, but keep them pushed together in the original circle shape.
2. Decorate the top of the Brie by placing four strawberries in a cross shape, pointing inward, and place a single blueberry in the very center.
3. Create a tight ring of blueberries around the base of the Brie wheel to define the center.
4. Arrange the red grapes in a circle around the ring of blueberries, creating the next layer.
5. Prepare the skewers: Take a bamboo pick and thread on a mandarin segment, followed by a slice of kiwi, and finally a cube of yellow cheese. Repeat this until you have enough skewers to circle the board (about 20-24 skewers).
6. Arrange the skewers radially around the grapes, with the cheese end facing inward and the mandarin facing outward, creating a sunburst effect to finish the platter.
