Berries & Cream Charcuterie Board

Nothing says summer like fresh berries, and we’ll take any excuse to eat them by the pint. Luckily, at Delish, anything can become a charcuterie board, including the iconic combination of berries and cream. This DIY spread is an ideal summer treat for feeding a few friends on a warm weekend afternoon or impressing a crowd during your next big gathering. The only thing better than fresh, sweet berries is piling them on angel food cake with sweet ricotta or whipped cream. 

The best part about this (other than being insanely easy and impressive) is that you can make it year-round and swap in your favorite seasonal fruit. Try pears and pomegranates in the fall, pineapple, mango, and apricot in the spring, or supremes of grapefruit and blood oranges in the winter. Add some texture with toasted nuts, coconut, or homemade granola. Don’t want to use angel food cake? Try pound cake, shortbread cookies, or even store-bought biscuit or croissant dough. Whole Wheat Carr’s Crackers are great too. 

Store any leftover whipped ricotta or whipped cream in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
