Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Base (mix and match):

1 cup strawberries, sliced
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup mandarin orange segments
1 cup green grapes, halved
1 cup blueberries
2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
2 bananas, cut into thick rounds (slice last)

Optional Decorations

Unsweetened shredded coconut (bunny “fur”)
Raisins or mini chocolate chips (eyes)
Small strawberry triangles or thin carrot slivers (beaks/noses)
Fresh mint leaves (garnish)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Fruit

Wash and dry all fruit well.
Slice strawberries (some into long ear shapes, some into small triangles).
Halve grapes. Peel and slice kiwi.
Wait to slice bananas until just before assembly.

2️⃣ Build the Base

Spoon a colorful mix of fruit into the bottom of each clear cup, about ¾ full. Pack gently so the top decorations have support.

3️⃣ Make Bunny Faces

Place a thick banana slice against the inside wall of the cup.
Add two strawberry slices behind it as ears.
Use blueberries or raisins for eyes.
Add a mini chip or raisin piece for the nose.
Sprinkle a little coconut for fluffy cheeks.

4️⃣ Make Chick Faces

Use pineapple and mandarin pieces at the top for a yellow base.
Add two blueberry eyes.
Add a small strawberry triangle or carrot sliver for a beak.

5️⃣ Chill

Cover and refrigerate 30–60 minutes before serving for best flavor and freshness.

Notes

✅ Slice bananas last to prevent browning.
✅ If needed, lightly brush banana slices with lemon or pineapple juice.
✅ Dry fruit well so cups don’t get watery.
✅ Use clear cups or jars so the designs show.
✅ Let kids decorate — the more personality, the better.
