Ingredients

Quantities may vary depending on the number of cones

• 4 oz prosciutto
• 4 oz salami
• ½ cup green grapes
• ½ cup blueberries
• 4 oz mozzarella balls
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes
• ½ cup strawberries, trimmed and halved
• Food cones or food-safe cups
• 2–3 cocktail picks per cone

Instructions

1. Stabilize the cone: Tightly roll a slice of prosciutto and place it at the bottom of a food-safe cone. This helps hold the other items in place.
2. Assemble the first pick: Thread a blueberry, a grape, another blueberry, and a halved strawberry onto a cocktail pick. Place the finished pick into the cone.
3. Make the salami rose: Lay one slice of salami halfway over another. Fold in half and roll tightly to form a rose shape.
4. Assemble the second pick: Add a mozzarella ball, a cherry tomato, and finish with the salami rose. Insert the pick into the cone.
5. Arrange and serve: Place each cone on a serving tray. Serve immediately or chill until ready.

Tips

• Use parchment cones or small cups if you don’t have food-safe cones.
• Roll meats tightly to help keep everything stable.
• Chill cones in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving to keep them fresh.

Variations and Substitutions

• Cheese options: Try feta cubes, cheddar, or goat cheese instead of mozzarella.
• Fruits: Use raspberries, apple slices, or dried apricots.
• Meats: Substitute with pepperoni, turkey, or plant-based deli slices for vegetarian options.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, assemble a few hours ahead and store in the fridge. Add delicate items like strawberries just before serving.

How do I keep them upright?
Use a muffin tin or a shallow box filled with rice or beans to keep cones steady on a serving tray.

Can I make this kid-friendly?
Absolutely—swap the meats for rolled turkey or cheese cubes and use more fruit.
