Prepare the cheesecake: Using a sharp knife dipped in hot water (and wiped clean between cuts), slice the cheesecake into bite-sized pieces approximately 1-1.5 inches each.

Select and prepare your platter: Choose a large wooden board, marble slab, or serving platter with at least 12-16 inches in diameter.

Arrange the cheesecake base: Place the cheesecake pieces on your platter in clusters, leaving space between groups for accompaniments.

Add cookies and crackers: Arrange cookies and crackers in fan patterns or small stacks around the platter edges for easy access.

Incorporate fresh fruits: Arrange prepared fruits in groups by color to create visual impact, tucking larger pieces around the cheesecake and scattering smaller berries in empty spaces.

Add sweet accompaniments: Create small piles of chocolate chips, nuts, and other dry toppings, distributing them throughout the platter to fill gaps.

Prepare and add sauces: Pour sauces into small dishes placed strategically on the platter, or use squeeze bottles to drizzle directly onto certain sections.

Final garnishes: Tuck mint leaves throughout the display and dust certain sections with cocoa powder or cinnamon for visual contrast.

Temperature and timing: Assemble the platter no more than 2 hours before serving and keep refrigerated until 20-30 minutes before serving.

Serve: Place small dessert plates, napkins, and forks nearby with serving utensils for each section of the platter.
