How to make Christmas Tree Fruit and Cheese Platter
Preparation
Cut the cheese into bite-sized chunks.
Wash the fruit and pluck the grapes off the vine or cut them into small clusters of 4-5 grapes each.
Assembly
On a large flat serving board, arrange a single layer to shape the tree. Start at the bottom and work your way up: Cheddar cheese, then green grapes, then Colby-Jack cheese, red grapes, Gouda, green grapes, Parmesan, and finally blackberries.
Once you have the initial shape, build up the tree by adding more layers of fruit and cheese.
Once satisfied with the shape, tuck in small sprigs of rosemary and parsley to fill out your tree. A star cracker would be a cute addition at the top if available.
Tips & Tricks
Use a variety of cheese shapes and sizes to add visual interest to the platter.
Ensure the fruit is dry after washing to prevent the cheese from becoming soggy.
