These delightful Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs combine fresh strawberries, airy angel food cake, and creamy whipped cream on skewers for a fun and easy-to-eat dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries – hulled and halved or left whole if small
  • Angel food cake – cut into bite-size cubes
  • Whipped cream – homemade or store-bought
  • Wooden skewers or bamboo sticks – about 6 inches long
  • Powdered sugar (optional) – for dusting
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional) – for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Strawberries: Rinse fresh strawberries under cold water and pat dry. Hull them by removing the leafy green tops. Cut large strawberries into halves or quarters to make bite-sized pieces.
  2. Slice Cake: Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes, keeping pieces uniform.
  3. Prepare Whipped Cream: If making homemade whipped cream: Pour 1 cup heavy cream into a chilled mixing bowl, add 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes). If using store-bought whipped cream, stir gently to soften.
  4. Assemble Kabobs: Assemble the kabobs by threading a strawberry piece onto the skewer, followed by a cube of angel food cake, then a small dollop of whipped cream. Repeat the pattern 3-4 times depending on skewer length, leaving space at the bottom for handling.
  5. Garnish: Optionally, dust kabobs lightly with powdered sugar and add a mint leaf on top of the whipped cream for garnish.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately to keep cake from getting soggy and whipped cream fresh. If prepping ahead, keep ingredients refrigerated and assemble just before serving.

Notes

  • Serve immediately to keep cake from getting soggy and whipped cream fresh.
  • If prepping ahead, keep ingredients refrigerated and assemble just before serving.
