Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Fruits
Wash, peel, and cut all your fruits into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry slightly so they don’t release too much liquid into your cups. Using fresh, ripe fruit ensures maximum sweetness and flavor.
Step 2: Layer the Fruits
In clear glass cups or dessert bowls, begin layering from the bottom up:
-
Start with grapes or cherries.
-
Add the mandarin orange segments.
-
Follow with pineapple cubes.
-
Next, spoon in the diced mango.
-
Finally, arrange the kiwi slices neatly on top.
The layering not only creates a stunning rainbow effect but also balances flavor and texture in every spoonful.
Step 3: Add the Sweet Touch
Drizzle a small amount of honey or agave syrup over the top to bring out the natural fruit flavors. This step is optional but adds a light, glossy finish and a hint of sweetness that ties everything together.
Step 4: The Finishing Touches
Top your fruit cups with a few orange boba pearls or ice pearls for a fun, refreshing twist. Add a cherry or a mint leaf for garnish if you like.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the fruit cups for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld slightly and makes the treat perfectly cool and refreshing.
