Recipe for Fruit Platter with Sweet Dip

The list of ingredients is per every 25 guests. If you have 100 guests coming, for example, quadruple this recipe.

2 Cups of Heavy Whipping Cream

2 Tbsp Confectioner's Sugar

1 Canteloupe

1 Honeydew

1 Large Carton Strawberries

1 Small package fresh Blueberries

1 Whole, fresh Pineapple

1 bunch green grapes, seedless

1 bunch purple or red grapes, seedless

Whip heavy cream with electric mixer, starting off slowly, then increasing speed. As cream thickens, add sugar. Mix until fluffy and of a good dipping consistency (about three to four minutes on high). Put the dip into a storage container and place in refrigerator. If you are doing this more than a day ahead of time, place it in the freezer, and take it out about three hours before serving.

Wash all fruit. Cut melons into bite-sized chunks. Slice top off of pineapple horizontally; scoop out inside of pineapple and cut into bite-size chunks. You will use the pineapple shell as a "bowl" for the dip. Place all fruit back into refrigerator until serving time.

For serving, you will need a tray and a spoon for the dip, plus a fork or spoon for the fruit.

[Money saving tip: you can buy all of these fruits pre-cut, but it definitely saves money to do it yourself.]
