A festive Halloween fruit platter arranged in a candy corn shape, served with a creamy yogurt dip. Quick, easy, and perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks (or 2–3 cups canned pineapple chunks, drained)
  • 3–4 large navel oranges, peeled and segmented (or 2 cans mandarin oranges, drained)
  • 3–4 firm, slightly green bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (1/8 teaspoon)
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves or shredded coconut for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate while prepping fruit.
  2. If using fresh pineapple, cut off top and bottom, slice off skin, remove eyes, cut into quarters, remove core, and cut into 1-inch chunks. Set aside.
  3. For fresh oranges, cut off top and bottom, slice off peel and pith, then segment by cutting between membranes. If using canned mandarins, drain well and pat dry.
  4. Peel bananas and slice into 1/2-inch rounds. Toss with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
  5. On a large platter, arrange orange segments in a thick, rounded band at the top (the ‘hat’ of the candy corn). Below that, arrange pineapple chunks in a slightly narrower band. At the bottom, arrange banana slices in a triangular point.
  6. Place the yogurt dip in a small bowl at the bottom point of the banana triangle or off to the side. Garnish with mint leaves or shredded coconut if desired.
  7. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Use slightly green, firm bananas to slow browning. Toss banana slices in lemon juice to keep them white. Drain canned fruit well to avoid a soggy platter. For best results, assemble just before serving.
