• Note: you can get the smallest container of each fruit. The exact amount you’ll need depends on how big your rainbow is. The amounts below are exactly what I used for a rainbow on a 12" (30.5 cm) platter. If possible, place your hand or stand mixer beaters and bowl in the fridge for 1 hour before making the dip.

Make the dip:

• In a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla and salt at medium speed until totally combined.
• While still mixing, now on low, gradually add the heavy cream.
• Once it’s well incorporated, turn the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form - about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Cover and place in the fridge until it's time to serve. This yields about 1 cup + 3 tablespoons. Can be made up to 2 days in advance.

Form the rainbow:

• Place your white bowls with the dip down at the bottom of where you’re going to make the rainbow, and then build your rainbow from there. If you just make the rainbow whatever size and then add your dip bowls, it will almost definitely look bad.
• Wash, rinse, and pat dry all of the fruit with paper towels.
• Cut the fruit as instructed.
• Starting with the strawberries, start forming the rainbow. Arrange one row for each color of fruit listed.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Place a serving spoon near the platter and smaller spoons in the fruit dip.
• If you have leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
