Description
A festive and colorful fruit tray designed to resemble the American flag, perfect for patriotic celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups banana slices (about 3 medium bananas)
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the fruit. Wash the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold water. Hull and halve the strawberries, and slice the bananas into rounds.
- On a large serving platter, arrange the strawberries in a row to form the stripes of the flag. Use about 1 ½ cups of strawberries for this.
- Next, create the blue section of the flag by placing the blueberries in the top left corner of the platter. Fill this area with about 1 cup of blueberries.
- Fill in the remaining space with the banana slices, arranging them in a way that complements the overall look of the flag.
- If desired, serve with whipped cream on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, substitute the bananas with pineapple chunks or kiwi slices.
- You can add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon over the fruit for extra flavor.
