Place a block of softened cream cheese onto a clean work surface and spread it evenly with a small spatula to smooth the surface.
Observe that the cheese is soft and spreadable, with a smooth, even top.
Arrange an even layer of round crackers on a serving platter, leaving space between each. The crackers should be uniform in size and shape.
Ensure the crackers are dry and crisp, ready for topping.
Spoon a dollop of cream cheese onto each cracker, spreading it gently to cover the surface completely.
Look for a smooth layer with no gaps or overlaps, indicating even coverage.
Top each cream cheese-covered cracker with an array of sliced strawberries and whole blueberries, arranging the red and blue components to create a visually appealing pattern.
The berries should sit firmly on the cheese, with vibrant colors visible.
Sprinkle each assembled bite with crushed pecans to add a crunchy texture and decorative appeal. Distribute evenly for visual balance.
The pecans should be finely crushed and evenly distributed, with some pieces slightly overlapping the edges.
Optionally, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the berries for added flavor and texture, ensuring even coverage across all bites.
The cheese should be light and airy, with a mild appearance atop the berries.
