I also like to include a fresh fruit platter along with a special dessert. Fresh fruit is enjoyed by everyone of every age and is always well received.

My easy Vegan 3 ingredient Chocolate Sauce is perfect for dipping with fresh fruit.

Choose in season fruits and that will keep the cost down. Take a few extra minutes to arrange the fruit on pretty platters. It really is eye catching!

You can simply serve a cut up watermelon, a bowl of easy peel mandarins, fruit kabobs, a fruit salad or arrange fruit in a clever way on a platter.

Fruit kabobs are fun to make and even more fun to eat! These were for a birthday party.

If there isn’t time to get fancy, simply arrange the fruit grouped together like this – it’s still very appealing!
