Description

Fruit skewers are a colorful, light, and impressive snack perfect for New Year's Eve 2025 — combining fresh fruits in a convenient form for standing and eating. Inspired by traditional fruit skewers served as a dessert or snack in warm countries; here, they work well as a refreshing accent between heavier party dishes. The skewers have a variety of textures (the juiciness of pineapple and mango, the creaminess of banana, the crunchiness of grapes) and an attractive color palette that looks great on a platter. Serve with an optional yogurt-honey sauce or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate; they pair perfectly with bubbles or herbal tea. They are simple to prepare and easy to serve as finger food.

Preparation steps

Preparation of ingredients

1

Wash all the fruits under cold running water: strawberries (2 minutes), grapes (rinse and drain, 1 minute), blueberries (briefly, 30 seconds). Drain the fruits in a colander for 2–3 minutes, then spread them out on a paper towel and gently pat dry to remove excess moisture.

Ingredients: Strawberry, Seedless grapes, blueberry
Use a large colander and a soft strawberry brush if they are dirty. Do not soak the fruit for too long, as they will lose their firmness.
2

Peel the pineapple and mango. For the pineapple: cut off both ends with a chef's knife, stand it upright, and slice off the skin from top to bottom. Remove the 'eyes' with diagonal cuts. Cut the flesh into slices about 1–1.5 cm thick, then into cubes with sides of about 2 cm. Time: 6–8 minutes.

Ingredients: Fresh pineapple
Use a sharp chef's knife and a stable cutting board. If you're afraid to peel a pineapple, buy it already cut into pieces. 2 cm cubes provide a good proportion — not too big so they won't fall off the skewer.
3

Bananas: peel and cut into pieces 2–2.5 cm long (not too thin, so they don't fall apart when stuffing). Kiwi: peel using a peeler or spoon and cut into slices about 1 cm thick, then cut each slice in half if they are large. Mango: cut alongside the large flat pit, peel the flesh with a knife and dice it into pieces similar in size to pineapple (about 2 cm). Total preparation time for bananas, kiwi, and mango: 6–7 minutes.

Ingredients: Banana, Kiwi, Mango
When slicing the banana, work quickly to prevent it from browning. If the banana starts to darken, drizzle it with a little lemon juice (optional). Use a kiwi peeler for even slices.
4

Prepare the sticks: if the sticks are raw and you're worried about splinters, soak them in cold water for 5–10 minutes, then dry them. This makes them more flexible and less brittle. Arrange all the prepared bowls with fruits on the countertop: pineapple, strawberries (halved if large), slices of kiwi, pieces of banana, grapes, and blueberries.

Ingredients: Skewers
Dipping the sticks is optional; it doesn't affect the taste, but it prevents splinters. Use large glass or ceramic bowls to serve the fruits while working.

Stuffing and Shaping

5

Start assembling the skewers: hold the stick in one hand and the fruit in the other. Alternate the fruits by color and texture, e.g. a piece of pineapple (2 cm) — grape — slice of kiwi (half) — piece of mango — half a strawberry — slice of banana — blueberry. Each skewer should have 6–7 pieces of fruit and not be too tightly packed. Time to assemble one skewer: 1.5–2 minutes; total for 8 skewers: 12–16 minutes.

Ingredients: Fresh pineapple, Strawberry, Kiwi, Banana, Seedless grapes, Mango, blueberry, Skewers
Use your hands or a small spoon to place the small fruits (blueberries) onto the skewer. Make sure the skewer goes through the center of the larger pieces for stability. Do not pack the fruits too loosely — they will fall off; too tightly — they may get squished.

Yogurt dip (optional)

6

If you are using yogurt and honey: transfer 200 g of Greek yogurt to a small bowl, add 30 g of honey and mix with a spoon for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and slightly runny. Taste and add more honey if needed. Time: 2–3 minutes.

Ingredients: Greek yogurt (optional), Honey (optional)
Use a small spatula or spoon for mixing. If you want a smooth sauce, whisk briefly with a whisk. Additionally, you can add honey (already added) to enhance the flavor.

Chocolate glaze (optional)

7

If you want a chocolate glaze: break 100 g of chocolate into pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (bain-marie). Stir the chocolate with a spatula every 30 seconds until it is smooth and shiny — this usually takes 3–5 minutes. Be careful not to let steam get into the chocolate (it can cause it to seize).

Ingredients: Dark chocolate 70% (optional)
Use a metal or glass bowl for the water bath and a medium-sized pot with 2–3 cm of boiling water. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Additionally, you can drizzle with chocolate to enhance the flavor/texture.

Finishing

8

Arrange the finished skewers on a large platter. If you prepared the glaze, use a spoon or a small kitchen brush to create thin swirls of chocolate on the skewers (1–2 teaspoons of chocolate per skewer). Leave the skewers in a cool place for 5–10 minutes until the chocolate sets. If you prepared the yogurt dip, pour it into a small bowl and place it next to the platter.

Ingredients: Dark chocolate 70% (optional), Greek yogurt (optional)
For drizzling, use a sauce spoon or a squeezed pastry bag without a tip. Do not place warm skewers in the refrigerator — the steam can cause the chocolate to drip. Additionally, you can add a yogurt dip to enhance the flavor/texture.

Serving

9

Serve the skewers on a large platter: arrange them in a fan or a ray, so that the ends of the sticks are pointing in one direction (easier to grab). Place a small bowl of dip next to it. Serve the skewers no later than 1–2 hours after preparation, so that the fruits remain firm and fresh.

Ingredients: Skewers, blueberry
The best is a porcelain or wooden tray. Skewers are perfect as finger food during toasts. If you prepare them in advance, store in the refrigerator (see storage tips).

Fun Fact

💡

Fruit skewers are a variation of traditional kebabs and satays, but as a dessert, their popularity grew in the 20th century due to their simple presentation and impressive appearance. In the grilled version, the fruits caramelize and become even sweeter.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve chilled (but not frozen). Arrange the skewers on a white platter to make the colors of the fruits more vibrant. Add freshly grated lemon or lime zest (optional) to the yogurt dip just before serving. For adults, a good addition is crushed cookies or a sprinkle of toasted nuts (if there are no allergies).

🥡 Storage

It's best to consume immediately after preparation. You can cut the fruits up to 6 hours in advance and store them in separate, airtight containers in the fridge; however, bananas and cut mango should be added at the end. Store the finished skewers in the fridge for a maximum of 24 hours in an airtight container (there may be a loss of firmness and a change in the color of the banana). Store the chocolate coating separately at room temperature and briefly heat it before use if it has hardened.
