Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced
- 1–2 lemons, thinly sliced and zested
- Lemonade or lemon syrup (small jar for drizzling or serving alongside)
- Shortbread cookies
- White chocolate chips or chunks
- Mini marshmallows or lemon-flavored puffs
- Lemon cheesecake dip (made from 8 oz cream cheese, ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Honey or agave syrup (optional drizzle)
Instructions
- Prepare the lemon cheesecake dip: Beat 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature until smooth. Add ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Mix until creamy and fluffy. Chill in the fridge.
- Wash and prep strawberries: Rinse 2 cups fresh strawberries under cold water. Hull and slice them in halves or quarters. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Slice lemons: Thinly slice 1-2 lemons into rounds or wedges, removing seeds carefully.
- Arrange the board: Place the lemon cheesecake dip in a small bowl on the serving board. Surround with shortbread cookies, white chocolate chunks, mini marshmallows, and fresh strawberries. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.
- Final touches: Drizzle honey or agave syrup over some strawberries or cookies if desired. Optionally, place a small jar of lemonade or lemon syrup nearby for guests to add.
Notes
Keep strawberries dry and chilled until just before serving to maintain freshness. Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth lemon cheesecake dip. Thinly slice lemons and remove white pith to avoid bitterness. Alternate colors and textures on the board for visual appeal. Assemble right before guests arrive for best presentation.
