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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Wash and thoroughly dry all fruits to ensure toothpicks stick securely.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Fill in any gaps on the tree with mini marshmallows, pressing them into place between the fruits.
Step 8
Lightly dust the centerpiece with powdered sugar for a snow-dusted effect.
Step 9
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!
