Put your mark on it

Elevate your cream cheese and fruit platter by experimenting a bit with the recipe. To lean into the coconut flavour in the Caribbean cream cheese, lightly toast the coconut flakes until golden brown. It makes them even sweeter and adds a crispy texture that contrasts nicely with the creamy cheese and fresh, juicy fruits. You can also try other exotic fruits, for example, mango to balance the tangy lime or pineapple to balance the sweet coconut.

Instead of arranging the fruit around the cream cheese ring, you can create mini fruit skewers with chunks or slices of papaya, watermelon, star fruit, and orange. It adds a decorative touch to the platter, and it might make it perfect finger food at a reception or buffet.

Add different flavours by tossing the nuts with spices like cinnamon, chilli powder, or paprika. Spiced nuts can be a warm, aromatic component that contrasts beautifully with the cool, fresh fruits. You can also enhance the nut flavour by serving small bowls of almond or cashew butter on the platter. Nut butter provides a creamy, rich option for topping the crackers, adding a different texture and flavour pairing. Similarly, you can serve crackers and cream cheese with jams or compotes from fruits or berries.
