Notes

  • Prep and chill the fruit ahead of time to keep everything fresh and make assembly quicker.
  • Avoid using fruits that brown easily, such as bananas or apples, unless you're serving them right away or treating them with lemon juice.
  • Wash, cut, and store fruit in airtight containers the day before to save time.
  • You can assemble the cups a few hours in advance; just cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving.
  • If adding extras like crackers or breadsticks, wait until just before serving to keep them from getting soft.
