Ingredients
1 store-bought Angel Food Cake (or homemade loaf), cut into 1-inch cubes
2 lbs (approx. 900g) fresh strawberries
1 cup white chocolate chips (or white candy melts/almond bark)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil (to help thin the chocolate)
12–15 wooden skewers (6-inch or 8-inch size works best)
Instructions
1. **Prep the Fruit:** Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Slice off the green leafy tops (hull them) to create a flat surface.
2. **Prep the Cake:** Using a serrated knife, cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes. Try to keep them roughly the same size as the strawberries for a uniform look.
3. **Assemble:** Thread the ingredients onto a wooden skewer, alternating between a strawberry and a cube of cake. A typical pattern is Strawberry-Cake-Strawberry-Cake-Strawberry. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
4. **Melt Chocolate:** In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and the oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat it.
5. **Drizzle:** Place the assembled kabobs on a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper. Dip a fork or spoon into the melted chocolate and drizzle it back and forth over the skewers.
6. **Set & Serve:** Let the kabobs sit for about 10–15 minutes until the chocolate drizzle hardens (you can place them in the fridge to speed this up). Serve immediately.
Notes
Dryness is Key: Make sure the strawberries are very dry before threading them. If they are wet, the cake will get soggy quickly and the chocolate won’t stick.
Patriotic Twist: For 4th of July or Memorial Day, add fresh blueberries to the skewers to create a Red, White, and Blue theme.
Make Ahead: These are best eaten the day they are made. If you need to prep ahead, cut the cake and fruit and store them separately. Assemble and drizzle closer to serving time to keep the cake fluffy.
Serving Idea: These are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of whipped cream or a sweet cream cheese fruit dip.
