Instructions
Wash and dry all your fruits thoroughly. Slice the strawberries and bananas. If you’re using yogurt-covered raisins or other toppings, measure those out in advance.
If you’re making this with kids or for a party, setting up a DIY cone bar is a fun idea! Set each topping in a small bowl so guests can build their own.
Start by placing a few mini marshmallows at the bottom (to block any leakage). Then layer in strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices. Add a few more marshmallows or yogurt raisins on top for the white finish.
Place the filled cones upright in a cone holder, muffin tin, or upright in a box filled with rice or pebbles to keep them steady. Serve immediately or chill lightly until ready.
