Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Fresh Strawberries – ripe, bright, quantity as desired
- Bananas – firm but ripe, quantity as desired
- Brownies – fudgy, cut into bite-sized cubes, quantity as desired
- Skewers – bamboo or wooden, as needed for assembly
Optional Toppings
- Powdered Sugar – for dusting
- Chocolate Drizzle – melted chocolate for drizzling
- Chopped Nuts – as desired for texture and flavor
- Caramel Sauce – for drizzling
- Fresh Mint Leaves – for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Bake your favorite brownies or use store-bought ones. Allow them to cool completely to make cutting easier and to prevent crumbling when skewering.
- Wash and Slice Fruit: Rinse the strawberries and pat dry. Remove leafy tops and slice strawberries into halves or quarters depending on their size. Peel bananas and cut into thick rounds to ensure they remain sturdy on the skewer.
- Assemble the Skewers: Alternate threading a piece of strawberry, a brownie cube, and a banana slice onto each skewer. Continue this pattern until the skewer is full, ensuring a balanced distribution of fruit and brownie.
- Add Finishing Touches: Optional but recommended: drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the skewers, sprinkle chopped nuts, or dust with powdered sugar. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Chill brownies before cutting for cleaner pieces and better shape retention when skewering.
- Use fresh, firm fruit to help skewers hold together and taste their best.
- Alternate textures by adding crunchy nuts or granola with soft fruit and brownies for added interest.
- Serve skewers slightly chilled to allow flavors to meld.
- Assemble skewers just before serving to prevent fruit browning, especially bananas.
