Ingredients:
- 12 oz densely textured pound cake
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled
- 24 large marshmallows
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
- 1/2 cup white chocolate melting wafers
Instructions:
- Slice the 12 oz pound cake into 1 inch cubes. Note: Keep them uniform so the skewers sit flat on the platter.
- Hull the 1 lb of strawberries, keeping them whole for the best structural support.
- In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp honey, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of flaky salt.
- Slide a cube of cake onto the bottom of the skewer, about 2 inches from the end.
- Follow with a marshmallow, then a strawberry, then another marshmallow.
- Finish with one last cube of cake to lock everything in place.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the cake and fruit with the honey mixture. Wait until the honey looks glossy and absorbed before moving to the next step.
- Heat the 1/2 cup white chocolate wafers in 20 second bursts in the microwave until silky and completely fluid.
- Using a piping bag or spoon, zig zag the chocolate over the skewers in a fast, steady motion.
- Let the skewers sit for 5 minutes until the chocolate is matte and firm to the touch.
