Celebrate Summer with Fun and Whimsical Disney Treats

Who says the magic of Disney is only found at the parks? While you are waiting for your next (or first) visit, these Mickey Mouse fruit skewers bring fresh flavors and a bit of whimsy right to your kitchen – perfect for Disney fans keeping the magic alive at home.

Living in Ohio (which is no where near any of the Disney parks if you are geographically-challenged 😆), I find myself with a deep longing to visit way more than I’m able to. Starting this little blog and sharing all of the ways that I incorporate Disney magic into my daily life helps me to feel closer to Walt Disney World even though I am 1,500 miles away.

What You’ll Need to Make Disney-inspired Fruit Skewers…

• Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Melon (honeydew, cantaloupe, or watermelon will all work great!)
• Wooden skewers
• Cookie cutter resembling my favorite mouse (for shaping the melon)

Feel free to mix in any other fruit you love – just choose ones that will hang onto the skewer for a pleasant eating experience! Personally, I cannot wait for the sweet, juicy Ohio strawberries to come into season – we are almost there! They are usually on the smaller side but there is such a noticeable difference in taste from the ones that I buy year-round in the store! We will also have some super-tasty local blueberries, but the strawberries are what I think about during the cold winter months when I’m longing for summer and all of the wonderful things that come along with it.

…And Where To Get Them 🙂

If you don’t already have Mickey-shaped cookie cutters, here is the set that I currently have. It is less than $6! Does anything cost less than six bucks these days? And you will use them over and over and over again to create magical treats. (There are quite a few recipes on this very blog that utilize these very cookie cutters – and there will be many more to come!) We all know that everything tastes better when it is shaped like Mickey! 🙂 (As an Amazon Associate I get a commission for qualifying purchases.)

Skewers are an essential item for making fruit skewers. No kidding, right? LOL I grabbed mine in the local grocery store but if you’re like me and normally just like to clickety click and have things shipped, here are the skewers on Amazon.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Your Disney-Inspired Fruit Skewers

1. Prep your Fruit: Wash all fruit thoroughly. Slice melon into flat pieces for the cookie cutter shapes.
2. Cut Out Mickey Shapes from the melon: Use the cookie cutter to cut out adorable fruit shapes.
3. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the fruit pieces onto the skewers in a colorful pattern. (Be careful of the pointy end!)
4. Serve and Enjoy: Chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Perfect for pool parties, picnics, or just a sunny afternoon treat!

Tips to Make Your Fruit Skewers Extra Magical

• Use a variety of colorful fruits to make the skewers pop.
• Keep everything chilled to maintain freshness.
• Level up the magic and serve with a side of yogurt for dipping! (My favorite is vanilla flavored Greek yogurt.)

I hope that these Disney-inspired fruit skewers bring a little magic to your day! ✨ Let me know in the comments if you try them! 🍓🫐
