Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups whipping cream
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar (confectioner’s sugar)
- 1 lb. package of strawberries (about 24), hulled
- 6 skewers
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 12 oz. Angel Food Cake (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
- Pour the whipping cream into a medium bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.

- Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Cut angel food cake into 6 wedges.

- Drizzle each skewer of strawberries with 1 teaspoon of honey. Use a brush or fingers to spread it around and coat berries.

- Serve each slice of angel food cake with a skewer of grilled strawberries and about ½ cup of whipped cream.
- Garnish with basil or mint leaves, if desired.
