Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 angel food cake, cut into cubes
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Rinse and hull the fresh strawberries, removing the green tops and any blemishes.
- Gather your wooden skewers and ensure they are clean and dry. If you are using long skewers, you may want to cut them to a more manageable size for serving.
- Take a skewer and slide on a piece of angel food cake, followed by a strawberry. You can alternate between cake and strawberries for a visually appealing kabob. Continue this process until the skewer is filled, leaving a little space at the end for easy handling.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining skewers, alternating between angel food cake and strawberries until all ingredients are used. You should be able to make about 8 kabobs, depending on how you space the ingredients.
- Once all the kabobs are assembled, place them on a serving platter. You can serve them as is or add a dollop of whipped cream on the side for dipping. If desired, you can drizzle some chocolate sauce over the kabobs for an extra touch.
- For an added touch, consider garnishing the platter with a few whole strawberries or mint leaves to enhance the presentation.
- Enjoy your Strawberry Angel Food Cake Kabobs as a delightful dessert or a refreshing treat at your next gathering!
Tips
- Choose ripe, firm strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
- Use pre-cut wooden skewers to ensure uniform size and easy serving.
- If preparing in advance, assemble kabobs just before serving to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
- For an extra flavor boost, lightly brush the cake cubes with a liqueur or vanilla extract.
- Keep kabobs chilled until serving to maintain their fresh appearance.
- Use a serrated knife when cutting the angel food cake to prevent crumbling.
- Consider using different fruit variations like blueberries or raspberries for color variety.
- For a more decadent version, briefly torch the assembled kabobs for a caramelized effect.
