Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecakes: If using homemade mini cheesecakes, bake them in mini muffin tins ahead of time and allow them to cool completely. Store-bought cheesecakes are ready to go, so unwrap and arrange them on your board.
- Slice the fruits: Wash and slice strawberries, kiwis, and mangoes into small, manageable pieces. Keep raspberries and blueberries whole.
- Organize toppings: Place toppings like nuts, sprinkles, and sauces into small bowls or ramekins to keep things neat and make it easy for guests to customize their desserts.
- Assemble the board: Arrange the mini cheesecakes in the center of your board. Surround them with bowls of toppings, fruits, and decorative elements like sprigs of mint or edible flowers.
- Drizzle & decorate: Add finishing touches by drizzling caramel or chocolate sauce over a few cheesecakes. Sprinkle crushed nuts or edible glitter for a touch of glam.
- Set up serving tools: Place mini tongs, spoons, and forks on the board for easy access.
Notes
[‘Keep the board refrigerated until serving to ensure the cheesecakes stay chilled.’, ‘Pat juicy fruits dry with a paper towel to prevent soggy cheesecakes.’, ‘Offer a mix of sweet, tangy, and salty toppings to cater to different taste preferences.’, ‘Prep fruits and toppings the night before to save time.’, ‘Leave space between items on the board for easy access.’]
