While the citrus-ginger infusion tasted delicious on its own, it didn't seem to add much flavor to the fruit. Meanwhile, the water it adds makes the fruit break down and get mushy sooner than it otherwise would. Next time, I would skip the infusion. The fruit is spectacular and sweet enough on its own. Loved the coconut-rum whipped cream. Loved the fried "bowls"; I could not find wonton wrappers, so I substituted eggroll wrappers from the produce section of the supermarket. I had to trim them with a sharp knife to get them small enough, but that was easy, and they were super-fast and easy to fry. When done, they were ethereally light and delicious with their dusting of powdered sugar, a nice accompaniment to the fruit.

Just a word... the Citrus-Ginger Infusion will be very very hot when done, and will take a very long time to cool down.

I even stuck it in the freezer after letting it sit for over an hour on the counter- was still pretty hot but had to use it anyway as I was out of time.

So, make it a day ahead of time, or at least 3 hours before you'll need to use it.

WOW! I made this last weekend for a beach party picnic with friends and it was gobbled up with almost none to spare! All of the colors from the different fruits made a lovely presentation, and the addition of the lemongrass/ginger syrup was magical. Absolutely delicious!!

I skipped the whipped cream and made the recipe for a dinner party. After having rice and curry this was the perfect light, sweet desert. Not only was it a hit but on some colorful plates with the fried wontons, looked delicious as well. Definitely a keeper !

This is so good. Even my picky eaters loved it. It was the first thing to disappear. It has become a regular summer dish.
