Ingredients
1/4 small (about 1kg) watermelon, peeled, cut into 5mm-thick slices
1/2 pineapple (about 600g), peeled, cut into 5mm thick slices
250g honeydew melon, peeled, cut into 5mm-thick slices
1/2 cup fresh blueberries or red grapes
3/4 cup ricotta cheese, for vanilla-spiced ricotta
1/2 tsp vanilla extract, for vanilla-spiced ricotta
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, for vanilla-spiced ricotta
2 tsp maple syrup, for vanilla-spiced ricotta

1. To make the vanilla-spiced ricotta, place all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir until well combined and smooth.

2. Fruit Skewers:  Using flower and heart cookie cutters, cut shapes out of the watermelon and pineapple. Cut small rounds out of the honeydew melon. Thread a blueberry onto a short wooden skewer, then watermelon or pineapple. Top with a round of honeydew and a blueberry.

3.  Place fruit flowers in a vase and serve with the vanilla-spiced ricotta.
