The caramelized sugar from the strawberries in these skewered desserts is like a sixth ingredient, and the warm fruit almost makes its own sauce. Dip the desserts into whipped cream and enjoy!

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Sixteen 2-by-1-inch chunks pound cake (about 3/4 of an 8-inch loaf)
16 medium strawberries, leaves removed, hulls intact (cut any large berries in half)
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill grates

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Toss the pound cake, strawberries and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a large bowl until the cake and berries are coated well on all sides with sugar (they can be a little lumpy and unevenly coated). Thread a piece of cake and a strawberry onto a skewer; repeat 3 times on the skewer. Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients. Set the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Whisk together the cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the vanilla in a medium bowl. Beat with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates. Put the skewers on the grill, and grill, covered, until they are lightly marked, about 1 minute. Use a spatula to gently loosen them, and use tongs to flip them over. Continue to grill, covered, until the cake and strawberries are toasted with grill marks and the sugar starts to bubble and harden, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the whipped cream on the side.

Time 39m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups white whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
¾ cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
12 (6 inch) bamboo skewers
1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and halved horizontally
¾ cup low-fat frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip® Lite), thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
  • Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your hands until crumbly.
  • Stir buttermilk and applesauce together in a separate bowl; pour into the flour mixture until dough comes together and is sticky. Using 2 spoons, drop dough into about 1/2 tablespoon-size mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, making 36 total mounds.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms are slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool biscuits.
  • Thread 3 biscuits onto each skewer, alternating with 3 strawberries halves, until all the ingredients are used. Top each skewer with whipped topping.
