How to Make Sweet Patriotic Charcuterie Board
Make the cream cheese dip: Beat the cream cheese (cold) and sugar together until fluffy - about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream, salt, and vanilla. Beat for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a nice bowl and add the sprinkles on top.
Assemble the board: Place the bowl of whipped icing on the board. Arrange the fruit, Golden Oreos, and Teddy Grahams in horizontal lines across the board.
Hint: Placing the bowl on the board first is essential so that you do not run out of room at the end! The bowl helps guide you as to where to put your horizontal lines.
