A Fruity Idea?

Question

My nine year old daughter has to think up a novel recipe using fruit (the idea is to encourage non fruit eaters to try fruit) anyone got any ideas? I thought of a banana with cocktails sticks (chunks of different fruit on cocktail sticks). I think the fruit can be used 'raw' i.e. no need for cooking.

Answer 1

Strawberry, grape and melon are lovely on cocktail sticks.........I make them when I do a buffet and there are never any left..........the flavours just go so nicely together

Answer 2

This a great project for a youngster to be involved in. I think any banana based smoothie recipes are a great idea and are a good way to use up those slightly over ripe pieces of fruit. You can experiment as well; pretty well any fruit combines well.

Answer 3

Yesterday my mother in law made this for dessert.

1 8oz container of Cream Cheese It can be flavored if you want like the strawberry flavored CC. Softened.
1 smaller bottle (don't know the oz) marshmellow creme.

Put both in a bowl and mix well. May or may not want to chill before serving. If it is to chilled it will be hard. Serve this with apple wedges, grapes, strawberries. Any of the more firm fruit.

Answer 4
