Baby in Bloom Fruit Platter (Printable Version)

A colorful fruit arrangement paired with a smooth honey-yogurt dip, ideal for gatherings.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fresh Fruit

01 - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
02 - 1 cup seedless grapes, red and/or green
03 - 1 cup blueberries
04 - 1 cup pineapple, cut into wedges or chunks
05 - 1 cup cantaloupe or honeydew, balled or cubed
06 - 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
07 - 1 orange, peeled and segmented
08 - 1 apple, sliced
09 - Edible flowers, mint leaves, or baby's breath for garnish, optional

→ Yogurt Dip

10 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
11 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
13 - Zest of 1 lemon, optional

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull, peel, and slice as needed. Brush apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
02 - On a large round or oval platter, arrange fruit in concentric circles or flower pattern, alternating colors for visual appeal. Position orange slices and kiwi at center to resemble flower core, then fan strawberries, grapes, pineapple, and melon as petals.
03 - In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.
04 - Pour yogurt dip into a small bowl and place at center of platter or set alongside.
05 - Decorate platter with fresh mint leaves or edible flowers for festive presentation. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours arranging it, but honestly takes about twenty minutes from fridge to table.
  • The creamy honey-yogurt dip is so good people will ask for the recipe before they even taste the fruit.
  • You can swap fruit based on what's in season, so it never feels repetitive no matter how many times you make it.
02 -
  • Pat your fruit completely dry before arranging—even a little moisture makes colors look muted and the platter feels sloppy rather than fresh.
  • The magic of this dish is that arrangement matters as much as the ingredients themselves; take thirty seconds to actually look at color placement, and it transforms from a fruit plate into something people want to photograph.
  • Make the yogurt dip no more than a few hours ahead, or it starts to separate slightly and lose that silky mouthfeel.
03 -
  • If you're making this more than a few hours ahead, layer damp paper towels under the fruit so it stays hydrated without getting soggy on top.
  • Brush apple slices with fresh lemon juice immediately after cutting, or keep them in a shallow bowl of lemon water until the last moment.
  • For a dairy-free crowd, coconut or oat milk yogurt works beautifully and tastes almost identical once the honey and vanilla are stirred in.
