FRUIT BALL

I tried this recipe at a party once and loved it. It is a very sweet "dip" but very addictive. I usually serve it with Wheat Thins. Although this is very quick and easy to make, it needs time to chill.

TRIPLE-MELON-BALL FRUIT DESSERT



Triple-Melon-Ball Fruit Dessert image

This is simplicity itself, chilled balls of cantalope, honeydew melon and watermelon inside a parfait glass, decorated with two chocolate sticks or ice-cream wafers. I made this once many years ago and still remember the oohs and ahhs when I presented the glasses on a tray to my guests. Note that you will need a melon baller for this recipe.

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 small honeydew melon (ripe and firm)
1 small cantaloupe (ripe and firm)
1 kg watermelon (buy a chunk of melon)
chocolate biscuit sticks or ice cream wafer

Steps:

  • Cut the watermelon into thick slices about 4cm(11/2 inches) and patiently and gently pick out all the seeds or alternatively use a seedless variety.
  • Using a melon baller cut as many balls as you can from the slice trying to waste as little fruit as possible. Don't worry if a few aren't perfect balls as you can hide them in the middle of the glass.
  • Put the balls in a bowl and keep chilled.
  • Repeat with the other two melons trying to have roughly the same amount of balls of each type.
  • Mix the melon balls gently together and divide into 4-6 parfait glasses depending on how tall they are.
  • Keep covered in the fridge until serving, adding a chocolate biscuit stick or ice-cream wafer stick or similar decoration.
  • You can even serve this with ice-cream or whipped cream though I do prefer it as a salad.

DRIED FRUIT CHEESE BALL



DRIED FRUIT CHEESE BALL image

Categories     Cheese     Fruit

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 package (8 ounce) mild Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 package (6 ounce) dried mixed fruit, chopped
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl combine cream cheese and honey; beat until smooth. Stir in cheese and chopped fruit; mix well.
  • Form into a ball and roll in chopped nuts. Chill for at least 3 hours.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. Riper bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, which will make your fruit balls more delicious.
  • Add a variety of fruits. You can use any combination of fruits you like, but some popular options include apples, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.
  • Use natural sweeteners. If you want your fruit balls to be sweeter, you can add a little bit of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. However, be careful not to add too much, as you don't want your fruit balls to be too sugary.
  • Roll the fruit balls in toppings. You can roll the fruit balls in a variety of toppings, such as chopped nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes. This will add extra flavor and texture to your fruit balls.
  • Store the fruit balls in the refrigerator. Fruit balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Fruit balls are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy snack, try making a batch of fruit balls. You won't be disappointed!
