Decorating a cheesecake with different fruit can be quite challenging when you’ve never done it before. I had to learn the hard way when my fruit colors started bleeding right into my cheesecake. I started asking myself: What’s the best way to decorate the cheesecake with fruit? How can I arrange fruit on my cheesecake in a pretty way? What fruit can I use to decorate my cheesecake?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Choose the fruit that’s right for your cheesecake<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Dry the fruit on a windowsill or with a paper towel to avoid staining<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Keep your fruit stable by firming up the cheesecake in the fridge for 30 minutes<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Arrange the fruit in a pattern for aesthetics<\/strong><\/li>
  5. Enjoy your fruity cheesecake! <\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You have so many decorating options when using fruit on your cheesecake. While digging deeper into these methods, I found out many things that I can do to present my cheesecake in a beautiful and delicate manner. These are the things that you must know when decorating your cheesecake with fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How\nTo Choose & Arrange The Right Fruit For Your Cheesecake!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There is such a large variety of fruit in the world that could dress up any boring cheesecake. But you need to be careful with the different kinds of fruit you can use.<\/strong> I mean, tomato is technically a fruit, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re looking to bake different-sized cheesecakes, I found the perfect\u00a03 piece set of Springform Pans<\/strong>\u00a0that I recently got for myself!\u00a0This 3-piece set comes with 4, 7, and 9-inch Nonstick Springform Pans,<\/a><\/strong> which you can check out on Amazon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Decorating a cheesecake is simple no matter what fruit you’re using!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    You have the option to keep them\nwhole and decorate them around the perimeter of the cheesecake (placed upside\ndown). You can also cut them up into thin layers lengthwise and arrange them\nflat on the surface<\/strong> of the cheesecake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Decorating a cheesecake with fruit is more than just for flavor purposes. People love to eat with their eyes as well as their taste buds<\/strong> so it’s great to choose an array of fruit so that the colors pop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are some different kinds of fruit with different colors to help elevate your cake! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Red<\/strong><\/td>Blue<\/strong><\/td>Green<\/strong><\/td>Yellow<\/strong><\/td>Orange<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
    Strawberries<\/td>Blueberries<\/td>Kiwi<\/td>Lemons<\/td>Oranges<\/td><\/tr>
    Raspberries<\/td>Concord Grapes<\/td>Mint Leaves<\/td>Pineapples<\/td>Papaya<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Now don’t be shy and use any combination you like!<\/strong> I personally like to add strawberries, blueberries, a few mint leaves for a pop of green, and then some homemade candied lemons for a refreshing look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keep in mind that if you’re\nputting a layer of syrup or jam on top of your cake, you’ll want to match the fruit\nwith the flavoring of your syrup.<\/strong> For instance, I usually put a thin layer\nof strawberry jam that I make on top of my cake. For decoration, I keep it\nsimple with strawberries and some mint leaves for a pop of green against all of\nthe red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
