This Figgy Delight Fruit Platter is a gorgeous and healthy treat, perfect for any occasion. It's unbelievably easy to make, but looks like something you'd find at a fancy restaurant. I created this recipe for a friend's birthday party and it was such a hit, everyone raved about it. Trust me, your family and friends will love it too!
The star of the show, of course, are the figs. Their delicate sweetness adds a unique dimension to the platter. And figs are incredibly versatile – pair well with almost any fruit. This makes it super easy to customize to your preferences! I've even had people add a little crumbled cheese, but I prefer it without!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, gather all your ingredients. Make sure your figs are ripe but not overly soft. If they are a little hard, you can let them sit out at room temperature for a bit to soften them up. Wash all the fruits thoroughly.
- Next, let's prep the figs. If you're using fresh figs, gently wash them and pat them dry. If you're using dried figs, quickly rinse them under cold water to remove any dust.
- Now, it's time to prepare all the other fruits. Cut the apples, pears, and oranges into bite-sized pieces. If using grapes or berries, simply wash them and leave them whole. Get creative with how you cut the fruit – cubes, slices, wedges; it's up to you!
- Arrange the fruit on your serving platter. Start with a base layer of larger fruits like apples or pears. Then add the figs and the other fruits in a visually appealing way. Think color contrast and variety of shapes and sizes.
- For that final touch, consider garnishing your platter with a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves or a few sprigs of rosemary. Add a small bowl of honey for dipping, if desired. And there you have it – your stunning Figgy Delight Fruit Platter!
- Once it's all ready, admire your work! It's seriously impressive, even if I do say so myself. This is a perfect platter to impress guests and showcase the simple beauty of fresh fruits. Enjoy!
