Fruit Kabobs with White Chocolate Mascarpone Dip

Fruit Kabobs with White Chocolate Mascarpone Dip makes the perfect grand finale for a Kebab-fest or any summer gathering! I’ve teamed up with my Progressive Eats friends to bring you a delectable, kabob-themed meal!

These fruit kebabs (or kabobs) are super easy to put together and always impressive! A platter of rainbow fruit skewers is just calling you to dive in! Especially paired with white chocolate. They’re swoon-worthy!

Why This Recipe Works

• Fresh, seasonal dessert is a perfect summer dessert and this combination of fruit and a white chocolate dip is deceptively simple.
• You eat with your eyes and the vibrant colors are irresistible.
• A white chocolate dip gives a decadent touch for those who don’t want a healthy dessert.
• It’s highly adaptable! Add squares of pound cake, marshmallows, or other fruit.

Ingredient Notes:

Use the most flavorful fruit of the season. But remember that some fruit like apples, pears, and bananas will oxidize or brown when exposed to air. Either add these right before serving or look for other options.

I like using:

• Large, sturdy berries like strawberries, blackberries or plump blueberries
• Pineapple
• Melon like canteloupe, watermelon, honeydew melon
• Seedless red or green grapes
• Bananas (add to the end of the skewer right before serving)
• Kiwi, mangoes, papaya
• Fresh cherries
• Citrus like orange or mandarin segments

Expert Tips

• Adding a fruit dip, like my white chocolate mascarpone dip, make these skewers a fun, interactive dessert. A caramel dip or dark chocolate dip would also pair deliciously with these kabobs.
• Feel free to thread your favorite fruit, even interspersing squares of pound cake or marshmallows.
• If you thread the fruit in the same order for all the skewers, they look so nice lined up on a tray.
• Definitely serve with this splendid dip. Made with melted white chocolate, cream, mascarpone, and a splash of vanilla, it’s a piece of cake to throw together and even easier to make disappear!
• PRO-Tip: If you do use fruit that oxidizes (turns brown when exposed to air), dip them in Sprite or 7-up and the citric acid will slow the process. Or just add those fruits right before serving.
