Ingredients
Directions
Prepare the Freaky Fruit®
Ghost Fruit & Zombie Brains (Dragon Fruit): Peel both varieties of dragon fruit. Slice them into rounds, and cube some pieces for added dimension. The red dragon fruit looks particularly spooky with its vivid colors.
Vampire Eyes (Blood Oranges): Peel and slice the blood oranges into rounds. Their deep red, almost blood-like interior makes them perfect for Halloween.
Monster Eyeballs (Kiwis): Slice the peeled kiwis into rounds, resembling eerie green eyeballs.
Hairy Beast Bites (Rambutan) & Eyeballs of the Undead (Lychees): Peel these tropical treats, revealing the lychees’ translucent, eyeball-like appearance, and display them next to their hairy rambutan shells for an extra freaky vibe.
Alien Guts (Kiwano): Slice the spiked horned melon into rounds or wedges. Its green, jelly-like interior is perfect for an out-of-this-world, creepy look.
Assemble Your Freaky Platter
On a dark serving board or platter (think slate or black marble for a haunted effect), arrange the fruit in eerie clusters. Play with texture and color to make the platter both vibrant and spooky.
Position the "eyeballs" (kiwis, lychees, and blood oranges) strategically to look like they are staring back at your guests. The "zombie brains" and "alien guts" add extra creepiness to the scene.
