Steps:
- For the Citrus Compote: Zest 1 grapefruit and set aside for the Grapefruit Whipped Cream. Cut off the top and bottom of an orange and place it on the counter flat side down. Cut the outer peel and pith off. Cut into chunks, removing as much pith as possible. Repeat with the remaining citrus fruits (including the zested grapefruit). Add the citrus chunks to a medium saucepot with 1/2 cup of water, the sugar and a handful of mint. Bring to low boil over medium heat and cook, occasionally stir gently making sure not to break up the fruit too much, until slightly syrupy and the sugar is dissolved, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, discard the mint and reserve, it will thicken slightly as it cools.
- For the Grapefruit Whipped Cream: Add the cream and zest to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a bowl with a hand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until peaks are medium-stiff. Refrigerate.
- For the Angel Food Cake: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Slice the angel food cake in half along the equator. Place each half on the grill and toast on both sides until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
- Place the bottom of the grilled angel food cake on a platter and spoon about half of the whipped cream over top. Use a slotted spoon to spoon some of the citrus compote over the whipped cream (don't use too much syrup or the whipped cream will be too runny). Place the top half of the cake on top (like a whipped cream sandwich). Spoon the other half of the whipped cream over top and spoon more of the citrus compote on. Garnish with mint leaves. Slice and serve like a layer cake.

Steps:
- 1. In a bowl, mix fruits, sugar, lime juice, mint and cayenne (if you are adding heat). Cover and refrigerate a couple of hours before serving. You can also do this the night before and the flavors can blend completely!
- 2. Prepare and preheat grill. I did use some foil on my grill but spraying with cooking spray is okay as well.
- 3. Slice angelfood cake horizontally, place cut side down on grill.
- 4. Grill for about 30-60 seconds or until light golden brown. Carefully flip cake and grill for another 30-60 seconds until golden brown. DO NOT LEAVE CAKE UNATTENDED, IT WILL BURN FAST!!!
- 5. Cut cake into about 8 pieces, top with fruit salsa and a scoop of sherbet.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: This will ensure that your salsa is packed with delicious flavor. Look for fruit that is brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Chop the fruit evenly: This will help to ensure that the salsa has a uniform texture. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the fruit, or it will become mushy.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, can add a pop of flavor and color to your salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only a small amount, as they can be more potent than fresh herbs.
- Season the salsa to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Chill the salsa before serving: This will help to allow the flavors to meld together and will make the salsa more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Grilled angel food cake with fresh fruit salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for summer gatherings. The cake is light and fluffy, and the salsa is refreshing and flavorful. This dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
