Captain America Fruit Platter

Looking for a fun dessert for the summer? This Captain America Fruit Platter is the perfect snack for parties, potlucks or anytime!

Our boy/girl ratio is way off in our family!  We lean more to the Disney Princess side of things!  But the 3 little boys in our family are huge Avenger fans!  (And so are the big boys!!)  

We brought this darling Captain America fruit platter to a family party and it was a hit with all ages. We served it with our Chocolate Fruit Dip.

Ingredient Notes

• Fresh Strawberries
• Angel Food Cake
• Fresh Raspberries
• Fresh Blueberries

How to make the Captain America Fruit Platter:

1. Line the outside of a big red plate with halved fresh strawberries. I laid them out every other one in a different direction.
2. Slice the angel food cake bar into thirds lengthwise. Trim off all of the brown edge. Using a star cookie cutter cut out a star on one of the long pieces of angel food cake. Try to cut as close to the edge as possible so as not to waste any cake. (I cut 2 stars and stacked them on top of each other in the center of the fruit platter so it would stand out more!) Cube the remaining angel food cake into 1 inch squares.
3. Place the cake on the inside of the strawberry ring and be sure to set them in as snug as you can.
4. Then place a ring of raspberries, put them as close together as possible.
5. Then place the star pieces of cake in the center and place blueberries all around the star.
6. If you want your star to stand out more, cut 2 stars and stack them on top of each other.

Storing and Other Tips

To keep a fruit platter fresh, you can cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also try placing a damp paper towel on top of the fruit before covering it with plastic wrap. To prevent browning, you can soak the fruit in honey water.
