Description

This Summer Berry Cheese Board is a vibrant and delightful combination of fresh Driscoll’s strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries paired with creamy goat cheese, sharp white cheddar, and smooth whipped ricotta. Enhanced with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of Kosher salt, this cheese board is perfect for a light, elegant appetizer or a quick, no-cook snack served alongside crunchy crackers and marcona almonds.

Ingredients

Cheeses

  • 6 ounces goat cheese
  • 6 ounces sharp white cheddar, sliced
  • 6 ounces ricotta (whole milk is best)

Fruits

  • Driscoll’s strawberries
  • Driscoll’s raspberries
  • Driscoll’s blueberries

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Marcona almonds (or nuts of choice), for serving
  • Crackers of choice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Make the whipped ricotta: Add the ricotta, honey, and Kosher salt to a food processor. Process for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is totally smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure even mixing. Once smooth, transfer the whipped ricotta to a bowl and top with an extra drizzle of honey if desired.
  2. Assemble the summer berry cheese board: Select your favorite cheese board, large dish, or platter. Start by placing the cheeses around the board—slice or break the goat cheese and cheddar as you like. Then fill in the spaces with the fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Add marcona almonds or your preferred nuts, and arrange crackers around the board to complete the setup. Begin with the largest items and fill in gaps with smaller components for a balanced, beautiful presentation. Serve and enjoy this fresh, vibrant cheese board!

Notes

  • Use whole milk ricotta for the creamiest whipped texture.
  • Feel free to substitute or add other seasonal berries or fruits according to availability.
  • Marcona almonds provide a buttery, softer nut option, but you can use any nuts you prefer.
  • Choose crackers that complement the cheeses, such as water crackers or multigrain.
  • This cheese board can be customized with herbs like fresh mint or basil for extra flavor.
  • Best served immediately to keep berries fresh and crackers crisp.
