Can You Make Patriotic Fruit Cones Ahead of Time?

Absolutely! These 4th of July Delightful Patriotic Fruit Cones are perfect for prepping ahead — with a few simple tricks. You can chop all the fruit and store it in airtight containers in the fridge up to 24 hours in advance. Whipped cream can be stabilized with a little powdered sugar or instant pudding mix to hold its shape longer.

Can you prepare these cones the day before?

You can prep all components the day before, but assemble the cones just before serving to keep them crisp. Keep fruit and cream stored in the fridge separately.

How do I keep the cones from getting soggy?

Place a spoonful of whipped cream or yogurt at the base of the cone to block moisture. Only fill cones shortly before serving or offer a chilled build-your-own bar.
