A Ditters dessert platter featuring fruit cake, chocolate, dried fruit and cinnamon almonds – an easy and inviting way to entertain family and friends.

When it comes to entertaining, grazing platters have become a favourite for good reason.

They're easy to prepare, wonderfully versatile and encourage everyone to gather around the table and help themselves. A dessert platter takes the same relaxed approach, offering a selection of candied nuts, fruit cakes, dried fruit and chocolate that everyone can enjoy at their own pace.

The best part? There's no baking, decorating or complicated preparation involved. With a handful of Ditters favourites, you can create an inviting dessert platter in just a few minutes that's ready to share with family and friends.

Ditters Fruit Cake

Rich, moist and full of premium fruit and nuts, Ditters Fruit Cake is a delicious way to add some tradition to your platter. Cut into bite-sized slices, it's easy to share and pairs beautifully with the other sweet favourites.

Cinnamon Almonds

Carefully roasted almonds coated in sweet cinnamon sugar add a satisfying crunch and a gentle hint of cinnamon that complements the fruit and chocolate.

Dark Chocolate Apricot Cocktail

One of Ditters' original recipes from years gone by, delicious dried apricots are combined with coconut and coconut condensed milk, then coated in premium Belgian dark chocolate. The combination of rich chocolate and naturally sweet apricot has remained a customer favourite for generations.

Milk Chocolate Sultanas

A timeless classic that's always popular. Juicy Australian sultanas coated in smooth milk chocolate add familiar flavour and are the perfect size for grazing.

Australian Dried Pineapple

Naturally sweet with an intense pineapple flavour, these chewy pieces are a delicious addition to any dessert platter. Many people enjoy pineapple after dinner as it's traditionally valued for its digestive properties.

Australian Dried Mango

Packed with flavour, Australian dried mango offers a satisfying chewy texture that softens as you enjoy it. Its distinctive flavour and sweetness make it a perfect contrast to the chocolate and nuts.

Why It Works

It's the variety that makes a dessert platter so enjoyable. Guests naturally discover their own favourite combinations, whether it's a slice of fruit cake with some Cinnamon Almonds, a piece of Australian Dried Pineapple after chocolate, or simply a handful of Milk Chocolate Sultanas with a cup of coffee.

Simple Presentation Tips

Creating an inviting dessert platter doesn't need to be complicated.

Use any platter, board or serving plate you already have.
Arrange the products in small groups so each one stands out.
Vary the colours and textures across the platter for an inviting presentation.
Place smaller items, such as Milk Chocolate Sultanas, into pretty teacups, ramekins or small dishes to add height and interest.
Don't overthink it. A relaxed, generous arrangement is often the most inviting.

With a selection of Ditters favourites already prepared, you can create an inviting dessert platter in just a few minutes, leaving more time to enjoy the company around the table.
