Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango
- 1/2 whole pineapple
- 1 whole orange cut into segments
- 1 1/2 cups green grapes
- 1 1/2 cups red grapes
- 2 cups strawberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup fruit dip serving optional
- 1 cup Mini egg candy
- Mint leaves for garnish optional
Instructions
- Cut the pineapple into 1/2 inch thick rings. Cut off the skin of the pineapple and leave in circles. Using your Easter cookie cutter shapes, cut out as many shapes as you can and set them aside.
- Peel the mango and cut it into about as many 1/2 inch slices as you can. Using your Easter cookie cutter shapes, cut out as many shapes as you can and set them aside.
- Get a large round tray to assemble the fruit platter. I used a 14 inch/35 cm round tray.
- If using fruit dip and candy, get two small bowls. Place the candy in one bowl and the fruit dip in another bowl. Arrange them on the platter how you like.
- Start placing your orange slices, grapes, strawberries and raspberries around the tray. Then place your pineapple and mango Easter shapes around the fruit tray.
- Finish off with mint leaves as garnish if desired. You can also decorate with extra candy around the tray.
- Serve cold.

Notes
- Prep ahead - You can cut the fresh fruit shapes up to 24 hours before serving. Just make to to store them in an airtight container in the fridge and layer paper towels between the fruit so it doesn't go soggy.
- Using leftover mango and pineapple - As this recipe uses cut out fruit shapes, you will have some leftover that you will not want to throw away. I just cut it up into small pieces and added to small bowls. You can add cocktail sticks to pick up the small pieces if you like.
- Assembling the tray - Assemble up to about 2 - 3 hours before serving for optimal freshness. Wrap and keep refrigerated before serving. If adding candy and mint leaves, add those just before serving.
