    Why you will love these fruit cups for parties

    Having a simple recipe for brunch is essential, like my pumpkin flaxseed granola and stone fruit salad recipe. Here's why you'll love these individual homemade fruit cups:

    The perfect snack to make ahead. Transform fresh summer berries into a fast and beautiful healthy snack in minutes. Assembling these fruit cups takes just ten minutes and they can be prepared 24 hours in advance.

    Simple easy fruit cup recipe. Showcasing these elegant fruit cups in coupe-style wine glasses is a beautiful way to serve them. Best eaten on a hot day when entertaining for Mother's Day brunch, Easter, bridal showers, birthday parties, or even a baby shower. 

    Healthy and customizable snack ideas. Naturally gluten-free with no refined sugar, these homemade fruit cups are much healthier than store-bought fruit cups. Customize these cups using any of your favorite fruits and toppings. 

    Ingredients

    You’ll need the following ingredients to make these delicious fruit cups for a party: 

    Ingredients for fruit cups. Yogurt, berries, honey, and mint.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Yogurt: I love using Labneh which is technically a soft Middle Eastern cheese made from strained yogurt. It has a rich and tangy flavor with a texture similar to whipped cream cheese. Labneh has no added sugar. You could also use full-fat Greek yogurt.
    • Honey: Organic raw honey gives the labneh a natural sweetness. You could also use pure maple syrup.
    • Berry Mix: Fresh mixed berries are my favorite combination, but you can use any type of fresh fruit in season. 
    • Garnish: Add a sprig of mint or edible flowers for an ultra-chic look. 

    How to Make Fruit Cups For a Party: Step-by-Step

    Creating fruit cups for a party, by mixing yogurt, honey, and berries together.
    1. Combine honey and yogurt. Add the yogurt and honey to a medium-sized bowl. 
    2. Stir until smooth. Using a spoon, stir together the yogurt and honey until combined.
    3. Assemble fruit cups. Divide the yogurt evenly into the bottom of each glass. Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces if needed, then spoon the fruit on top of the yogurt. Add additional honey if desired. 
    4. Garnish. Add a sprig of mint or edible flowers. Fresh fruit cups can be served immediately or covered and stored for 24 hours.

    Expert Tips

    • Use fresh fruit. Look for fresh fruit that is in season, and avoid using canned or frozen fruit. 
    • Weigh your ingredients. Each fruit cup should have around 2 ounces of yogurt and 2 ounces of berries. A great way to measure this is to use a food scale. 
    • Assemble in advance. If you are serving these fruit cups for an event, make and assemble them the day before to save time. 
    • Serve on a footed tray. For an elegant look that will impress your guests, serve these fruit cups on a platter or footed tray.
    • Don't forget the garnish. Adding a sprig of mint, or edible flower to the top of the fruit cups adds a pop of color and visual impact. 

    Storage

    Storage: After assembling each fruit cup, cover the top with aluminum foil and store the cups in the refrigerator, up to 24 hours in advance. Leftover fruit after the event can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. 

    Substitutions &Variations

    Dairy-Free + Vegan Options: Use your favorite brand of dairy-free yogurt and sweeten the yogurt with pure maple syrup for a vegan option. 

    Yogurt: If you can't find Labneh, plan full-fat Greek yogurt makes a great option.

    Sweetener: Depending on the sweetness of the fruit, you can adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your liking. If the fruit is quite tart, drizzle a little sweetener on top of the berries before serving to make this a sweet treat.

    Add Balsamic: Toss the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar in a large bowl. Let the fruit sit for 10 minutes, then divide evenly on top of the yogurt. Serve immediately when using this variation.

    Add Zest: The zest of one orange gives the yogurt a vibrant citrus flavor.

    Add Vanilla Extract: Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract adds a warm sweet flavor to the yogurt.

    Add Nuts: Sliced almonds, walnuts, or pecans on top, give the fresh berries, add more texture and flavor to the yogurt.

    Create a Yougurt Parfait Bar: Instead of assembling the fruit cups, create a parfait bar at your next party. Prepare everything in separate bowls, and allow your guests to create their parfait cup. You'll appreciate how easy the whole spread was to throw together!

    FAQ

    How far in advance can I make fruit cups?

    You can cut and store fruit cups in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in advance. 

    What type of fruit is best to use in fruit cups? 

    Seasonal fresh fruit works best, but you can use any variety of fruits. Berries, peaches, nectarines, plums, cherries, red grapes, kiwis, mandarin oranges, and mango all make great options. Frozen fruit and canned fruit are not recommended. 

    What other glass can I serve these fruit cups in?

    Instead of glassware, another creative way to serve these fruit cups is in clear plastic cups.

    Do fruit cups for a party have to be refrigerated?

    Yes, you should refrigerate the fruit cups until serving. Once served, yogurt can sit out for up to two hours at room temperature.
