“Ricotta” Sweet & Savoury Platter

How pretty is this Savoury & Sweet “Ricotta” Board I made for a social event? I got inspo from JSHealth for this lovely presentation, but used my almond “ricotta” as the base for a dairy-free version. You could get creative with your own toppings. Everything goes!
