If you don&#8217;t have almonds, a variety of other nuts could work here\u2014try cashews, walnuts or macadamia nuts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brie cheese and mascarpone cheese:\u00a0<\/strong>Creamy and buttery, these cheeses are fantastic for this fruit and cheese platter because they&#8217;re easy to spread and pair beautifully with sweet flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honey:\u00a0<\/strong>We serve honey in a small jar on this board so guests can drizzle as much or as little as they like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Directions\u202f<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Arrange the fruits, cheeses and accoutrements<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2072001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Fruit-and-Cheese-Board_TOHD24_224813_suzanNajjar-1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"On a large platter or cutting board, arrange halved strawberries, figs, orange slices, grapes, mango, blueberries, blackberries, dried banana chips, kiwi slices, watermelon slices, almonds, Brie, and mascarpone cheese.
