# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get all the credit for an impressive dessert without turning on your oven or measuring anything precisely
- The hearts make people smile before they even take a bite, turning ordinary fruit into a celebration
02 -
- Watermelon hearts are surprisingly fragile and need gentle handling, so cut them right before threading
- The fruit can oxidize slightly if cut too far in advance, so plan to make hearts within two hours of serving
03 -
- Leftover fruit hearts (the scraps from cutting) make the most perfect fruit salad, so don't throw them away
- A little squeeze of fresh lime over the fruit right before serving wakes up all the flavors
