Servings: 8
Ingredients
For The Fruits
- Bamboo Skewers
- 6 blueberries for each skewer
- 2 strawberries for each skewer
- 2 cubes of pound cake for each skewer
For The Chocolate Sauce
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1⅓ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips chopped
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 ounces dark rum
Instructions
- Prep. Prepare your fruit by washing and drying the berries. Then cut up the pound cake into cubes.
- Make the kabobs. Thread the fruit and pound cake onto skewers, alternating colors for that festive look. Set aside.
- Make the chocolate sauce. Put the cream in a small saucepan and cook over low heat. When the cream begins to form bubbles around the edges, remove from the heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate. Continue whisking until the mixture is melted and smooth. Whisk in vanilla and rum; remove from the heat and set aside. Sauce will thicken as it stands.
- Serve. Arrange the fruit skewers on a platter and serve the chocolate sauce in a bowl.
Notes
- How much fruit and cake you will need depends on how many skewers you want to make. Keep in mind, the dipping sauce will serve about 8 people.
