Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Rainbow Fruit Cups
  1. Begin by washing all the fruits thoroughly under cold running water. Chop the kiwi, strawberries, and pineapple into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are visually appealing. Allow the fruits to drain in a colander for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Start by adding a layer of fresh blackberries at the bottom of each cup, filling about a quarter of the way up.
  3. Add a layer of chopped kiwi on top of the blackberries, filling the cup about halfway.
  4. Spoon in a layer of mandarin oranges following the kiwi layer, filling the cup almost to the top.
  5. Layer chopped strawberries on top of the mandarin oranges, ensuring they are freshly chopped.
  6. Crown the cups with a generous layer of chopped pineapple.
  7. Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip on top of each cup.
  8. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.

Use ripe, seasonal fruits for the best flavors. Assemble cups close to serving time to avoid sogginess. Customize by adding yogurt or granola for different textures.
