# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in 20 minutes with zero baking, perfect for when you want something impressive without the stress.
  • Everyone can customize which fruits they want, making it feel special and personal rather than like you served them all the same thing.
  • The combination of crispy cone, juicy fruit, and creamy yogurt dip feels like a treat without being heavy.
02 -
  • Soggy cones are the enemy—I once filled eight cones 30 minutes early thinking I was being efficient, and by serving time they'd turned to mush.
  • If you're working with particularly juicy fruit like fresh pineapple, drain it well or it'll turn everything into a fruit soup within minutes.
03 -
  • If you're serving a crowd, set up a little station where people can choose their own fruit combinations—it feels interactive and everyone gets exactly what they want.
  • A tiny pinch of mint tucked into the top of each cone adds elegance and makes it look like you spent way more time than you actually did.
