Ingredients:

  • 4 oz Soft Cheese (such as Brie or creamy goat cheese)
  • 2 Tbsp Whipped cream cheese spread
  • 1 oz Cured Meat (Prosciutto or thinly sliced hard Salami)
  • 1 cup Raspberries and Strawberries (total volume)
  • 1 oz Crunchy Crackers (approximately 8 crackers)
  • 1 Tbsp Balsamic glaze or Honey (for drizzling)
  • 3 pieces High-Quality dark chocolate truffles
  • 2 small Heart-shaped sugar cookies

Instructions:

  1. Remove the soft cheese (Brie) from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for optimal texture. Wash and dry all berries. Slice some of the strawberries into heart shapes for a romantic presentation.
  2. Arrange the soft cheese block, the cream cheese spread (topped with a dollop of jam, if using), the cured meat, and the dark chocolate truffles evenly across the serving platter or board. Lay down the heart cookies.
  3. Place the crunchy crackers around the platter, ensuring they are near the cheeses for easy pairing.
  4. Scatter the raspberries and strawberries around the platter to fill in any gaps and add vibrant color. Drizzle the soft cheese or specific areas with the balsamic glaze or honey just before serving to add the necessary acid component.
