Ingredients
Units
Scale
Strawberries
- 2 boxes strawberries (approximately 24-30 strawberries)
Cake Mix
- 1 box of white cake mix
Yogurt
- 3/4 cup Greek vanilla yogurt
Egg Whites
- 2 egg whites
Water
- 1 1/3 cups of water
Chocolate
- 1 bag of white chocolate chips (about 12 oz)
Other
- Skewers (wood or metal)
Instructions
- Prepare Cake Batter: Combine the cake mix, Greek vanilla yogurt, egg whites, and water in a large mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Bake Cake: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- Prepare Strawberries: Remove stems from strawberries and cut them in half or into smaller pieces if needed to ensure uniform size for skewering.
- Cut Cake into Cubes: Once cooled, cut the cake into 2-inch cubes.
- Assemble Kabobs: Thread strawberries and cake cubes onto skewers, alternating and fitting three to four of each per stick for balanced presentation and flavor.
- Melt Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (about 2 minutes total). Transfer melted chocolate to a large plastic bag or piping bag and cut a small tip off.
- Drizzle and Chill: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the assembled kabobs. Place in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before cutting into cubes to prevent crumbling.
- Using a piping bag for the chocolate drizzle creates a more polished appearance.
- Feel free to substitute different fruits like blueberries or raspberries for variety.
- Keep the kabobs refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of chocolate or yogurt used.
