Fruit Kabobs
Fruit kabobs are the perfect summer treat! Whether it is a pool party, barbecue or picnic, fruits on a stick are always a hit especially when paired with a delicious dip.
Ingredients
For kabobs:
- 12 strawberries (see note 1)
- 12 blueberries
- 12 raspberries
- 24 grapes (any color, preferably seedless)
- fresh mint (about 12 leaves, or to liking)
For dip:
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon chocolate hazelnut spread (see note 2)
Other:
- 12 skewers (see note 3)
Instructions
- For fruit kabobs: Rinse all the fruits as well as mint leaves thoroughly under running water. Remove any stems from strawberries (if too large, cut them in half). Place all the fruits onto a tray or plate lined with a paper kitchen towel to get rid of any excess water.
- Stick the fruits onto skewers: Grape + raspberry + grape + mint leaf (optional) + blueberry + strawberry (or in any order you like).
- For chocolate hazelnut spread: In a small bowl, mix together sour cream with Nutella until well combined.
- Enjoy fruit kabobs right away or chilled!
Notes
- If you have large strawberries, you might need to cut them in half as they may be too heavy to hold on a skewer (or too big).
- You can use Nutella - either store-bought or made at home or any chocolate hazelnut spread you like. I find this ratio just perfect, but you can add more spread if desired.
- Skewers a minimum of 4-inch (10-centimeters) long. You can use longer and add more fruits if you like. For kids, use cake pop sticks with no sharp edges.
- Use any fruits you prefer - berries only, or add pineapple to make the kabobs more colorful, watermelon, ...
- This is a quick recipe but if you don’t want to stick the fruits on the skewers, simply serve them separately (on a platter). I recommend doubling the dip in that case.
