Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Strawberry Angel Food Cake Kabobs are the perfect combination of light, fluffy cake and fresh, juicy strawberries. This no-bake dessert comes together effortlessly, making it ideal for parties, picnics, or even a casual family dinner. With a touch of chocolate or whipped cream, you can elevate these kabobs into a show-stopping treat.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 store-bought or homemade angel food cake, cut into cubes
• 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
• Wooden or metal skewers

Tip: Ensure the strawberries are ripe but firm to make threading onto the skewers easier.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Start by cutting your angel food cake into evenly-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch each. Halve the strawberries and set both aside in separate bowls.

Step 2: Assemble the Kabobs

Alternate threading a piece of cake and a strawberry half onto the skewer. Repeat until the skewer is full, leaving a little space at each end for easy handling.

Step 3: Optional Chocolate Drizzle

If you’d like to add a touch of indulgence, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Once smooth, drizzle the melted chocolate over the kabobs using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Arrange the kabobs on a serving platter. They’re best served fresh, but you can refrigerate them for up to 2 hours before serving. Pair with whipped cream or a vanilla yogurt dip for an extra treat!

Expert Tips for Perfection

• Keep it fresh: Use fresh, seasonal strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
• Size matters: Cut the cake cubes and strawberries uniformly for a balanced look and bite.
• Chill for firmness: If the cake is too soft, chill it briefly before cutting to make it easier to handle.
• Go creative: Experiment with other fruits like kiwi, pineapple, or raspberries to add variety.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?

While fresh strawberries are recommended, you can use thawed frozen strawberries in a pinch. Keep in mind they may release more liquid, which can make the kabobs less stable.

How far in advance can I make these kabobs?

These kabobs are best assembled on the day of serving to keep the cake from getting soggy. However, you can prepare the components (cutting the cake and strawberries) a day ahead and assemble them just before serving.

What other toppings can I use?

Try drizzling white chocolate, dusting powdered sugar, or adding shredded coconut for a unique twist.
