Stars & Stripes is a sweet and fun platter to serve at your next July 4 party. It’s so simple to throw together and it looks cute too.
Stars & Stripes
You will need:
- watermelon
- mini White Marshmallows
- blueberries
- star Shaped cookie cutter
How To:
- Slice watermelon into pieces 1-2 inches thick.
- On each slice of watermelon take your cookie cutter and press firmly down onto the flesh of the watermelon until it cut’s through to create your stars.
- Carefully remove your cut out stars and place on a separate tray.
- Open packet of blueberries and remove lid. Keep blueberries in tray to prevent them from moving around your platter. Put the blueberries on the top left hand corner of your serving platter. This section will represent the blue and white stars of the American Flag.
- Using your watermelon stars create a row straight across the top. You can stack your stars to give your platter some height.
- Take your mini marshmallows and create a row underneath the stars. Make sure your marshmallow row is the same width and depth as your stars.
- Repeat this process to the bottom of your serving platter.
- Refrigerate, serve cold and enjoy!
TIP: If you wanted a healthier alternative to the marshmallows you could try using banana instead, But it’s the holidays … I say indulge!
XOXO,
