Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

Freeze the skewers: Thread mango cubes, strawberry halves, and feta cubes onto the skewers, alternating ingredients. Place skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
Make the frozen hot honey: In a small saucepan, combine honey and red pepper flakes. Heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until honey is warm and infused with spice. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour the honey into a shallow dish and freeze for about 30 minutes, or until thick and syrupy (but not solid). Alternatively, you can use a silicone ice cube tray to freeze individual dollops.
Assemble: Remove frozen skewers from the freezer. Drizzle or dip the skewers in the frozen hot honey, or spoon the honey over the top.
Serve immediately, as the skewers will melt quickly. Enjoy the contrast of cold, creamy, sweet, and spicy!

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste. For less heat, use only 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. For a vegan version, substitute feta with a firm vegan cheese like plant-based feta or smoked tofu. The frozen hot honey will not freeze solid like ice; it should be thick and syrupy. If it becomes too solid, let it sit at room temperature for a minute or two.
