Ingredients

  • Strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Orange segments, peeled
  • Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
  • Green grapes, halved
  • Blueberries
  • Blackberries or purple grapes
  • Large marshmallows (Jet-Puffed recommended)
  • Heavy whipping cream (1/4 cup or 60 ml)
  • Powdered sugar, sifted (2 tablespoons)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Wooden skewers (6-8 inches long, soaked in water for 30 minutes)
  • Lime juice or honey (optional, to brush on fruit for extra shine)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (10 minutes): Rinse all fruit thoroughly under cold water. Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and segment the oranges, and cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Halve the grapes for easier threading. Pat all fruit dry with paper towels to avoid excess moisture making the marshmallow clouds soggy.
  2. Assemble the Kabobs (10 minutes): Thread the fruit pieces onto wooden skewers in rainbow order: red strawberry, orange segment, yellow pineapple, green grape, blue blueberry, and purple blackberry or grape. Repeat the pattern until the skewer is full, leaving about an inch at the end for holding. Aim for roughly 6-8 pieces per skewer for a balanced look and easy handling.
  3. Make the Fluffy Marshmallow Clouds (15 minutes): In a cold mixing bowl, combine the large marshmallows and heavy whipping cream. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whip on medium-high speed until the marshmallows start to dissolve and the mixture becomes fluffy and light—about 5-7 minutes. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then whip again for another 2 minutes until soft peaks form. The mixture should be airy but still hold its shape.
  4. Serve or Chill: Spoon or pipe the fluffy marshmallow clouds over the fruit kabobs just before serving. If you want to prepare in advance, cover the marshmallow mixture tightly and refrigerate; whip again briefly before serving to refresh its fluffiness. The kabobs themselves can be stored in the fridge for a few hours, but add the marshmallow topping last to keep it from weeping.
  5. Optional Finishing Touch: For a little zing, brush the fruit lightly with lime juice or honey before adding the marshmallow clouds. You can also sprinkle chopped nuts or edible glitter on top for extra fun.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning if grilling or toasting. Use cold heavy cream and a chilled bowl for best marshmallow fluff. Sift powdered sugar to avoid grit. Dry fruit well to prevent sogginess. Whip marshmallow clouds again if mixture becomes stiff or starts to weep. Assemble fruit kabobs a day ahead and add marshmallow topping just before serving to keep fresh.
