Recipe Help & FAQs

→ How do you create the bear ears on the fruit board?

Use smaller orange slices cut from the ends of the oranges, attaching them atop the larger face slices to resemble ears. Alternatively, kiwi or apple slices can add color variation.

→ What fruits are used for the bear's snout and eyes?

Banana slices form the snout area, while blueberries or mini chocolate chips serve as eyes and nose for expressive features.

→ Can this be prepared ahead of time?

It's best served immediately to maintain freshness and vibrant colors, though prepping fruit beforehand is possible with careful storage.

→ Are there any suggested garnishes to enhance the display?

Shredded coconut can be sprinkled around the faces for a furry effect, and halved strawberries add decorative accents on the board.

→ Is this approach suitable for dietary restrictions?

This board is vegetarian and gluten-free by design. For vegan options, opt for dairy-free chocolate chips.
