Fruit/dessert charcuterie board
The beauty of a charcuterie board is its versatility, allowing you to personalize it according to your taste and the occasion. With a platter, you get a feast for the eyes with the variety of flavours, textures, and colours, and it’s great for sharing which is why it’s perfect if you’re hosting. You can add or substitute other fruits, desserts, or accompaniments based on your preferences or what's in season.
