# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sweet and creamy combination hits every craving at once
  • They look impressive but take literally fifteen minutes from start to finish
02 -
  • Cold cheese from the fridge is easier to cut into clean cubes than room temperature
  • The skewers taste best within an hour of assembly before the fruit starts releasing juices
03 -
  • Thread the strawberries cut-side facing outward for the prettiest presentation
  • If making ahead, assemble everything but the mint leaves and add those just before serving
