Fruit Platter

Build a Fruit Platter for a fresh appetizer recipe or easy, healthy dessert. Like a sweet cousin of a charcuterie board, this simple fruit snack showcases my best fruit dip recipe.

Ingredients :
  • 1 package cream cheese softened
  • 1 jar marshmallow fluff
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice from ½ lemon
  • 1 small melon seeded, rind removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small seedless watermelon sliced
  • 1 papaya skin and seeds removed, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pineapple rind removed and cut into wedges
  • 2 bunches grapes cut into small single-serving bunches
  • 1 pint fresh figs cut in quarters
  • 1 pint strawberries hulled and cut in half
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • edible flowers for garnish
Directions :
  1. To make the dip, in a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment or with an electric hand mixer, beat together cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, and lemon juice until well combined.
  2. Scrape into a small serving bowl (for the platter), cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until serving time.
  3. On a large board or serving platter, create focal points ("anchor points") with the bowl of dip, melon, watermelon, pineapple, and grapes.
  4. Fill in the gaps with figs, strawberries, and blueberries. Garnish with edible flowers.
