Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These fruit salad cups couldn’t be easier to make. You need some glasses or bowls, vegan whipped creme, chopped Winter fruits, cookie cutters and mini candy canes (optional).
This fruit salad is perfect for Christmas breakfast. You can make a fun DIY breakfast buffet, by just preparing all of the ingredients and letting everyone assemble their own cups.
Easy to scale. If you have enough fruit and whipped creme, you could prepare the dessert for 50 people in less than an hour.
No-bake. And you don’t even have to turn your oven on.
Now, that’s what I call a stress-free holiday!
Ingredients
– pomegranate seeds
– kiwis
– apple
– tangerines
– green grapes
– concorde grapes
– banana
– fresh lemon juice: gives extra favor to your fruit salad, and stops the apple and banana from browning.
– vegan whipped cream
For extra decoration (optional):
– mini candy canes
How to Make
When you have combined all of your Winter fruits, add the lemon juice.
Each cup consists of 4 layers:
– 1-2 tbsp whipped creme
– 1-2 tbsp fruit salad
– 1-2 tbsp whipped creme
– “festive scene” (kiwi tree, apple star, pomegranate seed presents)
If you don’t serve these desserts immediately after making them (that means 20-30 minutes), you should use a stabilizer in your whipped creme, otherwise the creme will separate.
It will be just as tasty, but not as pretty.
To make the kiwi tree, I cut a thick slice from the middle of a kiwi and used a tree shaped cookie cutter. The same thing applies to the apple star. Easy!
If you don’t have mini candy canes on hand, you can just leave it out.
For maximum taste experience, tell your guests to combine the whipped creme with the fruits completely before eating. AH-MA-ZING.
