Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
Cake
- 1 package angel food cake, cut into cubes
Toppings
- 1 cup melted chocolate (optional)
- 1 cup whipped cream
Other
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prep Strawberries: Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and hull them by removing the green leafy tops. For larger berries, slice them in half to create bite-sized pieces that will fit nicely on the skewers.
- Assemble Kabobs: Take the wooden skewers and alternate threading pieces of strawberries and cubes of angel food cake, leaving enough space at the bottom of each skewer for easy handling without the food slipping off.
- Add Chocolate (Optional): If you like, either dip the finished kabobs into melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over them for added sweetness and flavor contrast.
- Serve with Whipped Cream: Present your strawberry shortcake kabobs alongside a bowl of whipped cream for dipping or drizzling, enhancing the dessert’s light and creamy profile.
Notes
- For a richer taste, use dark or milk chocolate based on preference for dipping or drizzling.
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before skewering to prevent sogginess in the cake.
- Angel food cake can be substituted with pound cake or sponge cake for a different texture.
- Serve immediately after assembly to keep the cake fresh and the strawberries juicy.
- For a kid-friendly version, skip the melted chocolate or use white chocolate for a milder flavor.
