Tips
To create a similar dessert with ingredient substitutions, try using spun sugar instead of cotton candy, replacing rainbow marshmallows with different colored gummy candies, and opting for a different flavor gelato or ice cream instead of matcha. For the fruit, experiment with other tropical options like pineapple or passion fruit, and consider using store-bought fortune cookies for convenience. The key is to have fun with the presentation and to choose ingredients that create a visually stunning and unique dessert experience.
