He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Matthew 28:6
If you are hosting Easter/ Resurrection Sunday dinner at your house or you are looking to treat your family to a beautiful but easy to execute centre piece for you family meal on Easter, look no further! This He Is Risen Fruit and Cheese Board is not only stunningly beautiful to behold, it is also very delicious and very nutritious. If ever the phrase ‘it checks all the boxes’ were to be used, now would be the time!

The only issue I had while putting this together was stopping myself from munching on the delicious fruit. All it takes is one nibble and next thing you know, you have to go back to the store for blackberries and raspberries to complete the board. It took exercising the fruit of self-control (pun intended) and I’m happy to report that the fruit and cheese board made it to our brunch in the park intact. God is good!
A lady in the elevator was stunned that I had put the board together myself. Her exact words were; “Wow, you made that? I thought you ordered it from somewhere. It looks professionally made”. So dear ladies, prepare to impress and receive loads of compliments when you make this.
Let’s get into it.

The directions are simple!

2. Cut the cheese into slices, maintain the triangle shape, and arrange into a cross on the board.

4. Lastly cut out the words HE IS RISEN from squares of cheese and arrange on top of the cross for the final touch.

I had meant to garnish this all with a few leaves of mint cleverly placed to give a good color contrast but forgot. Just know it is an option.
