# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • These look impressive but take literally fifteen minutes from start to finish
  • The sweet and creamy combination works for every single age group
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before serving
02 -
  • Room temperature cheese threads so much easier than cold cheese right from the fridge
  • Very soft cheeses will crumble and fall apart so stick to firmer varieties
  • If making ahead, keep fruit and cheese separate and assemble just before serving
03 -
  • Use a small piece of cheese between each fruit to prevent everything from sliding together
  • The contrast between room temperature cheese and cold fruit is honestly magical so do not overthink it
