Recipe Guide
- → How do I cut heart shapes from the fruits?
Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to press into halved strawberries and watermelon slices gently, creating uniform heart shapes.

Agave syrup is a great vegan option that adds a subtle sweetness and works well drizzled over the fruit skewers.
