Ingredients
  

Fruit Turtles
  • 2-3 cups ripe kiwi fruit peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 1 pounds large green seedless grapes some whole, some halved lengthwise
  • 1 container black icing gel or melted chocolate for eyes

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp paring knife
  • Serving plate
  • Piping bag or toothpick

Method
 

  1. Slice peeled kiwi into 1/4-inch thick rounds for shells. Place one slice on the serving plate.
  2. Position one whole grape at the top of the kiwi slice for the head.
  3. Cut grape halves for legs and tail. Arrange four halves (two front, two back) for limbs and one half at the bottom for the tail.
  4. Carefully pipe two small dots onto each whole grape head using black icing gel or melted chocolate to create eyes.
  5. Repeat steps 1-4 for all remaining fruit, carefully arranging the completed turtles. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Ensure you use very ripe but firm kiwi so they are easy to slice and handle.
