  • 1 orange peeled and segmented
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks or 1 ripe banana, sliced
  • 2 kiwis peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup grapes halved
Dip:
  • 1 (8-ounce) full-fat cream cheese brick-style
  • 1 (7-ounce) marshmallow cream
  • 1 clementine orange for zest and juice
  • 1/16 teaspoon fine sea salt (don’t skip this for flavor enhancement)

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Serving Platter
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Start by washing all your fruits thoroughly under cool water. Once clean, carefully slice and chop the fruits as needed. Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and segment the orange, chop the pineapple or slice the banana, peel and slice the kiwis, and halve the grapes. Place each type of fruit in separate bowls for easy assembly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the full-fat cream cheese and marshmallow cream. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of fine sea salt and zest the clementine orange into the mixture for an extra layer of flavor. If desired, squeeze a little clementine juice into the dip for added tanginess. Mix until well combined and set aside.
  3. On your serving platter, begin to arrange the fruits in the shape of a rainbow. Start with the red fruits on one end (strawberries), followed by orange (orange segments), yellow (pineapple or banana), green (kiwi), blue (blueberries), and finally purple (grapes) on the other end. Make sure to create a curved shape to mimic a rainbow.
  4. Once your fruits are beautifully arranged, place the bowl of cream cheese dip in the center of the tray. This will not only act as a focal point but also make it easy for guests to grab some fruit and dip.
  5. Invite your friends and family to dig into this vibrant masterpiece! Watch as they marvel at the beauty of the Fruit Rainbow Tray while enjoying the fresh, delicious flavors.

Notes

  • Choose ripe and fresh fruits for the best flavor and texture.
  • To keep fruits from browning, coat apple slices with a bit of lemon juice.
  • Prep your fruits in advance but assemble the tray right before serving to maintain freshness.
  • To keep the cream cheese dip from becoming runny, store it in the fridge until ready to serve.
