Ingredients and Substitutions
The star of this recipe is the freshly picked strawberries and you can literally use anything else to go with them. Check out the FAQ section for some extra tips.
Strawberries: always wash your strawberries thoroughly before making this recipe – keep reading for my top tip to retain freshness.
Cake: I decided to make some mini chocolate donuts by adapting my vegan ring donut recipe to create a chocolate donut recipe. You can find the full mini chocolate donut recipe here. Bake the mini donuts for 6-7 minutes and allow to cool before making the kabobs. You could also use premade brownies or some squares from your favourite homemade cake.
Marshmallows: as it’s almost Canada Day, I’m using large maple flavoured marshmallows but you can use any that you like. If you are vegan, sub with vegan marshmallows. Dandies ones are great!
How to Make Strawberry Kabobs
This is a no bake recipe (yay!) so start by gathering all of your ingredients as well as some bbq skewers.
Before building the kabobs, make sure you have washed your fruit first. I like to give mine a water and white vinegar soak for 10 minutes. I added 1 tsp of white vinegar to this bowl. Look how gorgeous the strawberries look in their water bath. We eat so many during strawberry season and this is a great way to prolong their freshness.
Pat them dry with some kitchen paper, cut off the tops and then they’ll be ready to use.
Now it’s time to start making the kabobs. And yes, there’s no rules with this. I usually do fruit, cake, marshmallow, cake, fruit but it’s entirely up to you.
And that’s it! I told you it was easy.
And I can confirm that they take as long to eat as they did to make. So what are you waiting for?
Other combinations
These kabobs are perfect served with some homemade dipping sauce such as my 5 minute caramel sauce or some melted chocolate. You could even drizzle chocolate on them before serving.
Common Questions
This recipe makes 6 kabobs but you can easily make more. Just increase the ingredients accordingly.
These are best made immediately before serving but will store ok in the fridge for a few hours in an airtight container. If you have any left over, pop them back in the fridge in an airtight container and eat within 2 days. Note that the marshmallows and mini donuts may get a little soggy but will still taste great.
I used my mini chocolate donuts recipe to make the mini donuts. Bake the mini donuts for 6-7 minutes and allow to cool before making the kabobs.
I do not recommend freezing the kabobs as it will affect the texture of the fruit and marshmallows. These are best enjoyed immediately after making.
