Fruit Salad Ice Cream Cone

Fruit Salad Ice Cream Cone ~ Dressing up fruit salad, a picnic side dish standard, with some crafty fun in an ice cream cone.

Before you tell me I’m mad in the head, which by the way you would be right, I will say it before you can,“This is not a recipe, but merely a presentation idea”.

That being said, I set out to get crafty and re-fashion a picnic standard, the fruit salad, into something fun and stylie (real word if you play scrabble with me). Determined to dump the de rigueur watermelon bowl, I needed something simple and picnic friendly.

Enter the ice cream cone. I love this idea. It’s easy, convenient and best of all who doesn’t get a little childhood nostalgia when you see an ice cream cone.

No recipe just a few notes:

  • For easy filling, use jumbo size cones.
  • Place a cupcake liner inside the cone to prevent it from getting soggy.
  • To offset the Ice Cream Cone Fruit Cups from being top heavy, I filled the bottom portion of the cone with candy. Aside from its weight utility, kids love the candy-filled surprise ending. My taste preference is for Skittles and they don’t melt, so even better. If you prefer to bypass the candy route you can fill the bottoms with rice, but . . . boring!
  • For easy stacking use at least two different size melon ballers.

    Your idea makes such a pretty presentation. And I love your photographs! I saw your photo of the chocolate cupcakes on TasteSpotting and had to come and look around. I’m glad I did.

    What a pretty presentation idea. Who wouldn’t enjoy a fruit salad where you can also eat the “bowl?”

    How adorable. I almost wouldn’t want to eat it if I had it in front of me.

    Looks beautiful and appetizing! Maybe instead of rice or skittles the bottom could be filled with more fruit in another cupcake liner?

    Another idea would be to coat the inside of the cone with white chocolate to prevent sogginess. This is a really cute idea!

    What a sweet (in more ways than one) idea! My daughter would be in heaven with Skittles in the bottom to weigh it down. What a hit these would be at a party.
    Thank you so much for sharing it. 🙂

    The bottom could be filled with ice-cream I made bit once and if worked. It is very cool after a warm meal and a hot day. 🙂

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton. 

Now I have a challenge for you. Join me and let's #erasefoodwaste. While you are at it, you can also enter @mortonsalt sweepstakes and win a $500 Walmart gift card or other Morton goodies! 
Rules for entry are:
