Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
Cake
- 1 package angel food cake, cut into cubes
Extras
- 1 cup melted chocolate (optional)
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prep Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries thoroughly. If the strawberries are large, cut them in half to ensure uniform size for skewering.
- Assemble Kabobs: Thread the strawberries and angel food cake cubes alternately onto the wooden skewers. Leave some space at the bottom of each skewer to make handling easier.
- Add Chocolate (Optional): If you like, dip the assembled kabobs into melted chocolate or drizzle the melted chocolate over the kabobs for a decorative and delicious touch.
- Serve: Present the strawberry shortcake kabobs with a side of whipped cream for dipping or drizzling over the top to enhance the flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Angel food cake can be homemade or store-bought; just ensure it’s cut into bite-sized cubes.
- Melt chocolate gently to prevent burning; use a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler method.
- Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for 10 minutes if grilling or presenting outdoors to prevent burning, though this recipe doesn’t require cooking on a grill.
- This dessert is best served immediately to maintain cake freshness and prevent it from getting soggy.
