Instructions

Make the dip:

In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, Nutella using a hand mixer until smooth, creamy and fully combined.
Add the Greek yogurt and beat again to combine. Transfer to serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.

Prepare the fruit platter:

Wash and dry all the fruit thoroughly. Slice larger fruits like peaches, plums, and kiwis. Quarter the figs and halve the apricots for visual variety.
Arrange the fruits around a large round serving platter in a circular “wreath” shape, alternating colors and textures for contrast.
Nestle two small bowls of pomegranate arils on opposite sides of the wreath for balance.
Tuck in fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs for a touch of greenery.
Add the Nutella dip to the center of the wreath, ready for dipping and scooping.
