- 1 pound strawberries, hulled
- 12 ounce pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup whipped cream, for serving
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Rinse and hull the strawberries carefully, then pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture for easier handling.
- Cube Pound Cake: Cut the pound cake into 1-inch cubes ensuring they are bite-sized and uniform for easy skewering.
- Assemble Kabobs: Thread one strawberry followed by one pound cake cube alternately onto each of the eight wooden skewers until filled.
- Arrange Kabobs: Place the prepared kabobs neatly on a serving platter, ready for garnishing.
- Drizzle Honey: Evenly drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the kabobs to add a sweet glaze and enhance the flavor.
- Serve with Whipped Cream: Serve the kabobs accompanied by 1 cup of whipped cream on the side, allowing guests to add as desired.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- For a healthier option, substitute honey with agave syrup or skip the drizzle altogether.
- These kabobs can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated, but add whipped cream just before serving to maintain its texture.
- Consider garnishing with mint leaves or a light dusting of powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
