All of these fruit ideas for Christmas are super easy and are done faster than a wink of the eye! Read on for all the juicy details and how-to:
Strawberry Santas: Delight young and old alike with these adorable Strawberry Santas, they are one of my favorite fruit ideas for Christmas. To make each, simply slice off the greens of a strawberry so that it stands upright without wobbling. Then, slice off the top 1/3 of the berry to be the hat. Apply a twirled dollop of whipped cream, either from a pastry bag or aerosol can, to the “body” strawberry piece and use a toothpick to secure the hat piece on top. Two mini chocolate chips stand in for eyes.
Watermelon Wreaths and Ornaments: Slice a personal-sized watermelon crosswise into 1-inch thick discs with the rind still on. Use a biscuit cutter or upside-down drinking glass to cut out a circle from the middle. Decorate with dollops of yogurt decked out with clusters of mint, berries and pomegranate arils. Waste not, want not; see the circle watermelon shapes that were punched out to make ornaments.
Chocolate Chip Raspberries Gems: Easy-peasy, stuff the inside of each raspberry with a dark chocolate chip. Each finished “gem” has just 4 calories, but seems like such a treat!
