Ingredients
- Mini croissants (store-bought or homemade)
- Cinnamon rolls (homemade or bakery)
- Palmiers or puff pastry twists (store-bought)
- Strawberries, hulled and halved
- Seedless green and red grapes, washed
- Blueberries or blackberries
- Sliced kiwi or peeled clementines
- Creamy ricotta or mascarpone
- Honey or fig jam
- Almond butter or peanut butter
- Toasted almonds or pecans
- Fresh mint leaves
- Dark chocolate chunks (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pastries: If homemade, bake until golden and flaky, then let cool slightly. If store-bought, warm briefly in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Wash and slice fruit: Rinse all fresh fruit, hull and halve strawberries, slice kiwis, separate grapes from stems, and peel clementines or mandarins.
- Arrange cheese and spreads: Spoon ricotta or mascarpone into small bowls or spread lightly on pastries. Place dollops of honey or jam nearby. Fill a ramekin with nut butter and drizzle honey on top if desired.
- Add nuts and extras: Scatter toasted almonds or pecans around the board. Tuck fresh mint leaves between fruit clusters. Sprinkle chocolate chunks in small piles if using.
- Final assembly: Fill any gaps with additional fruit or pastries to balance the board. Serve immediately or cover loosely and chill up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Warm pastries slightly before serving to revive texture and aroma. Slice fruit just before serving to avoid browning. Toast nuts for extra flavor. Keep spreads in small bowls to prevent pastries from getting soggy. Store leftovers properly and reheat pastries in the oven, not microwave.
