Easter Fruit Tray Ingredients

Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!

Fruit:

Watermelon: Choose a firm, heavy watermelon that sounds hollow when tapped and has a large field spot.
Kiwi: You’ll need one kiwi split into two halves to rest the bunny’s feet on and another kiwi for the bunny’s feet.
Strawberries: Look for firm, bright red, and unbruised berries.
Grapes: Use any grapes you like.
Mango: Opt for a firm mango with slight give.

A halved watermelon, two whole kiwis, a bowl of green grapes, a bowl of halved strawberries, and a green mango.

Dip:

Lemon curd: I use storebought.
Mascarpone: Use a good quality for the best results (I like Galbani).
Heavy cream: Make sure it’s cold.
Maple syrup: The sweetness balances the tangy curd.

Four bowls on a gray surface containing mascarpone cheese, maple syrup, lemon curd, and heavy cream.

How to Make an Easter Fruit Tray

Prepare the dip: Whip the mascarpone, add the cream, and whisk until soft peaks form. Fold in the lemon curd and maple syrup. Spoon the dip into a small bowl.
Prepare the fruit: Cut three slices of watermelon and trim one slice into six symmetrical pieces. Shape the other two slices into the bunny’s feet. Halve the strawberries and grapes and cut out the mango balls. Peel the kiwis and cut off the sides. Cut one kiwi in half and slice the other.
Assemble the bunny: Place the dip in the center of a chopping board. Arrange the watermelon feet on top of the kiwi halves. Top with the kiwi slices and grape halves to make the bunny’s foot details.
Now for the fruit: Add the strawberry halves, watermelon slices, mango balls, and grapes.

A spoonful of thick, creamy lemon curd dip held above a steel bowl filled with the same mixture.

Recipe Tip

There will be extra dip, so feel free to top up or use a larger bowl!

Possible Variations

Watermelon details: Swap for cantaloupe, yellow watermelon, honeydew, or dragonfruit. You can even shape the feet out of melted chocolate.
Dip: Feel free to add more lemon curd, lemon juice, or finely grated lemon zest for more citrusy flavor. Or swap for any sweet dip, melted chocolate, or whipped cream.
Fruit: Use any fruit you like: raspberries, blueberries, oranges, melon, apple, pear, etc.
Toothpicks: You can serve the fruit plate with toothpicks or skewers to make it easier to eat mess-free.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover fruit and dip in separate containers in the fridge and enjoy it within 1-2 days. You can also freeze it and add to your next smoothie (use within 3 months).

FAQs

I have lots of dip leftover. What else can I use it for?

Top it onto cakes and pancakes, enjoy it with vanilla wafers, biscuits, and graham crackers.

Can I make the Easter bunny fruit tray in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the fruit and dip a few hours ahead, cover it with plastic wrap, and store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.

I don’t have a melon baller. How do I shape the mango balls?

Simply cube the mango instead.

Can I add a few more details to make it more obvious it’s a bunny?

Yes, you can add bunny ears using watermelon and arrange them at the top of the platter. You can also outline the bunny’s feet with dark chocolate to make them more noticeable.
