A vibrant, no-cook fruit platter featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, and creamy white cheeses, perfect for summer parties and last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 2 cups)
  • Raspberries (1 cup, optional)
  • Ricotta cheese or fresh mozzarella balls (8 oz / 225g)
  • Fresh coconut yogurt (1/2 cup, optional)
  • Honey or maple syrup (1-2 tablespoons)
  • Fresh blueberries (2 cups)
  • Blackberries (1 cup, optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Toasted almonds or pecans (1/4 cup, optional)
  • Fresh lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Rinse all the berries gently under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel to avoid sogginess. Hull and slice the strawberries into thin, even pieces. Leave raspberries and blackberries whole.
  2. On your serving platter or wooden board, lay down the sliced strawberries in a neat row or section. Add raspberries alongside or slightly mixed in.
  3. Place dollops or small scoops of ricotta or fresh mozzarella balls in a line next to the reds. If using coconut yogurt, spoon small mounds spaced evenly. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the white elements.
  4. Arrange fresh blueberries in a section next to the white layer, filling in with blackberries if desired.
  5. Scatter fresh mint leaves throughout the platter. Sprinkle toasted nuts or seeds sparingly for crunch. Zest a small amount of lemon over the entire platter.
  6. Adjust any sparse sections by adding extra berries or cheese dollops for a balanced, inviting look.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe but firm berries to avoid sogginess. Pat berries dry after rinsing. Let cheese come to room temperature before assembling for best flavor. Assemble close to serving time and add mint leaves last to keep fresh. For dairy-free, substitute ricotta with coconut yogurt and honey with maple syrup. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.
