Grilled Angel Food Strawberry Shortcake Recipe | Arteflame Grill Desserts
Elevate your dessert game with a delightful twist on the classic strawberry shortcake, perfectly grilled on your Arteflame grill. This Grilled Angel Food Strawberry Shortcake recipe combines the lightness of angel food cake with the richness of mascarpone whipped cream and the tangy sweetness of balsamic-glazed strawberries for a dessert that's as impressive to look at as it is delicious.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 20 strawberries, hulled
- Four 3 to 4-inch thick slices of store-bought angel food cake
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons store-bought balsamic glaze
- Fresh mint sprigs (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prep the Grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill. Use vegetable oil to lightly coat the cooking surface.
- Grill the Strawberries: Skewer five strawberries per skewer, pushing through their cores. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the strawberries darken and caramelize, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove strawberries from skewers, mash lightly, and mix in whole strawberries. Set aside.
- Grill the Cake: Place angel food cake slices on the grill. Cook until each side is golden brown, about 30-45 seconds per side, ensuring they don’t stick to the grill.
- Whip the Cream: In an electric mixer, whip together heavy whipping cream, mascarpone, and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form, roughly four minutes.
- Assemble: Place grilled cake slices on plates. Top with a generous helping of strawberries, drizzle with balsamic glaze, add a dollop of whipped cream, and garnish with mint sprigs if desired.
This Grilled Angel Food Strawberry Shortcake recipe is a perfect showcase for the versatility of the Arteflame grill, blending the charred sweetness of grilled fruit with the creamy decadence of mascarpone whipped cream.
