Instructions

Creating this low fat dessert platter is straightforward and fun, starting with fresh ingredients that make assembly a breeze. Begin by washing and preparing the fruits to ensure everything is ready for a quick setup in about 30 minutes. This guide follows the detailed directions for a platter that’s as appealing as it is healthy.

First, cut the melons into wedges and use cookie cutters to make shapes like stars and hearts for a festive look. Next, slice the nectarines, mango, apples, and strawberries into pieces of assorted thickness to add variety. Then, arrange the grapes and cut fresh fruit on a large serving platter, filling the coconut halves with fresh raspberries for an eye-catching touch.

After that, scatter the remaining berries and fruit around the platter and place the sweets in small bowls or ramekins to fill in gaps. Arrange the biscotti and meringues on small dishes, and put the yoghurt in a small bowl with freeze-dried raspberries sprinkled on top if desired. Finally, serve immediately with the yoghurt as a dip, and for more recipe ideas, try our porridge recipe for a hearty complement.
