Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 strawberries
- 2 mango chunks
- 1 kiwi
- 100g white, milk or dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
- 100g white fondant icing
- 100g black fondant icing
- 8 giant chocolate buttons
Method
Step 1
Prepare the fruit for decorating: we used halved bananas, whole strawberries, and matchbox-sized chunks of mango and kiwi. Push a cake pop stick or straw into each one. Dip into melted chocolate (white, milk or dark) and decorate with your chosen toppings – try chopped roasted hazelnuts or desiccated coconut.Step 2
Make eyes from white fondant icing rolled into pea-sized balls and flattened slightly. Add smaller black fondant icing balls for pupils. Or create a big Cyclops eye with a chocolate button – also good for ears, and halved for mouths. Dab melted chocolate onto the back of eyes, and other features, to fix them to the fruit.Step 3
Place upright in a tall glass and chill for 20 mins to set. These are best eaten on the same day.
