Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Styrofoam cone (or an edible ice cream cone base)
- 2 cups Green grapes
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 0.5 cup Mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 50 pieces Toothpicks
- 1 piece Star-shaped cookie cutter
- 1 piece Mango or watermelon slice for the star
Instructions
Prepare the base by wrapping the Styrofoam cone in plastic wrap to make it food-safe, or use a large edible ice cream cone as the base.
Wash and thoroughly dry all fruits to ensure toothpicks stick securely.
Cut the tops off the strawberries and slice any large fruits like pineapple chunks into bite-sized pieces. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut a single star shape out of a mango or watermelon slice for the tree's topper.
Starting at the bottom of the cone, insert a toothpick halfway into the cone and skewer a piece of fruit (e.g., a grape) onto the exposed end of the toothpick.
Continue working your way around the cone, alternating fruit pieces (grapes, strawberries, pineapple chunks, and blueberries) for a colorful arrangement. Ensure the fruits are close enough to cover the cone completely.
As you layer up the cone, leave space at the top for the star topper. Secure the mango or watermelon star at the peak of the cone with a toothpick.
Fill in any gaps on the tree with mini marshmallows, pressing them into place between the fruits.
Lightly dust the centerpiece with powdered sugar for a snow-dusted effect.
Carefully transfer the finished Christmas Tree Edible Centerpiece to a serving platter and display as a festive centerpiece. Guests can pick fruits off the tree to enjoy!
