Frugal Coupon Living’s Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Bowls Recipe – Orange Pumpkin Cups made with Fruit. A healthy fall treat idea. Serve these Jack o Lantern Oranges at your next Halloween Party! 

Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups

Orange Jack-O-Lantern

When it comes to holiday parties, the sugar that often loads the table is a lot. We have some amazing Halloween Food Craft Ideas, but in our most recent recipe, I wanted to provide a healthy snack option.

Have fun with this one and take a twist on the orange. Crave out a Jack O’ Lantern using an orange, hallow out and fill with fruit. It is the perfect healthy treat to a Halloween Class Party or even an afternoon snack.

Jack-O-Lantern Oranges

Just a few simple ingredients make these Jack-O-Lantern Oranges. Fruit and mixed fruit. I really love berries, but it is your choice. If you scoop out the oranges well, you can even use that to toss in your fruit salad!

You will need a sharp knife to help you cut out your face. We loved this highly rated kitchen carving knife (I have this in my home), we also used Kitchen Sheers to cut out some of the shape. If you worry about using a knife or scissors around kids, crate your adorable Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cup using a Sharpie Maker! We did this with our Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats.

Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups Ingredients

  • 3 Medium Navel Oranges
  • 1 cup Mixed Fruit – Your choice, I prefer berries

Yield: 3 Jack-o-Lanterns. Multiple as needed.

How to Make Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups

This recipe is not too challenging. While the recipe is great for kids, an adult needs to be present for the slicing!

Slice off the tops of the oranges.

Using a spoon, scoop out the pulp and insides of the oranges. You can place those aside for your fruit salad or toss them. They could make some fresh orange juice!

Would you like to save this?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

Using a knife, careful cut out faces on each orange to resemble a Jack O Lantern orange.

Fill each orange with mixed fruit and serve.

Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups Tip: Don’t want to carve with a knife? That is okay. Use a sharpie and draw the face on the front – that works too and is safe for little hands!

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

    I’ll have to admit I’ve never hollowed out an orange – was it easy to do? Any tips for successfully cutting out the eyes, nose & mouth for the face?

      Would using a serrated knife, like a steak knife, work for cutting out the face? I’m going to try this–super cute!

    Love this so much! I think the kids would love it just as much (if not even more) than the sweets and candy that’s usually out on Halloween. It does seem a bit labor intensive, but very doable (specially if you do it in steps). Love it!

    This is such a fantastic idea! I always get sick of nothing but unhealthy food at Halloween parties. I think that this will be a great way to incorporate a bit of healthy food, but still be fun. Thank you!
