Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced into bite-sized pieces
- Pound cake or angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Whipped topping (whipped cream, cool whip, or mascarpone)
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
- Optional toppings: melted chocolate, powdered sugar, mint leaves
Instructions
- Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
- Slice pound cake or angel food cake into 1-inch cubes, ensuring the pieces are firm enough to hold their shape.
- If using fresh whipped cream, whisk heavy cream with a bit of sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Assemble the kabobs by alternating layers of cake, strawberry slices, and whipped topping on skewers.
- Add optional toppings like melted chocolate or powdered sugar for extra flair.
- Chill the kabobs in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up the whipped topping before serving.
Notes
For firmer cake cubes, freeze the cake for 10-15 minutes before cutting. Use cold ingredients for a refreshing dessert and to keep the whipped topping in place.
