Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs – A Fun and Delicious Dessert Two Ways

If you’re looking for a delightful and easy-to-make dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, these Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs are just the thing. With two different variations to choose from—one with whipped cream and the other with white chocolate—you can tailor this treat to suit any palate. Whether you’re hosting a party, attending a picnic, or just craving something sweet, these kabobs are sure to impress. Plus, they’re fun to make and even more fun to eat!

Ingredients

• 12 strawberries, tops removed and cut in half
• 12 oz. pound cake, cut into 1-inch squares
• 8 oz. whipped topping (optional)
• 1 bag white chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Whipped Cream Version

1. Assemble the Kabobs:
Start by preparing the skewers. Take a skewer and layer a piece of strawberry, a piece of pound cake, and a dollop of whipped topping. Repeat this layering until the skewer is filled as desired. The combination of fresh strawberries, soft pound cake, and creamy whipped topping makes for a delicious and refreshing treat.

2. Chill:
Place the assembled skewers in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Chilling the kabobs will help keep the whipped topping firm and the kabobs fresh. Serve chilled for a cool, creamy dessert that’s perfect for warm weather.

White Chocolate Version

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Begin by cutting the pound cake into 1½-inch squares. Rinse the strawberries, remove the tops, and cut them in half. The slightly larger pound cake pieces will hold up well under the white chocolate drizzle.

2. Assemble the Kabobs:
Thread the strawberries and pound cake pieces alternately onto the skewers, making sure that the strawberries are on the ends. This creates a visually appealing and balanced kabob. Place the skewers on parchment paper for easy cleanup when you drizzle the chocolate.

3. Melt the Chocolate:
In a small pan, melt the white chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to avoid burning it.

4. Drizzle with Chocolate:
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the assembled kabobs, allowing the chocolate to set on the kabobs. The combination of sweet white chocolate, juicy strawberries, and tender pound cake is a match made in heaven.

5. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the kabobs for at least half an hour to allow the chocolate to set. Once the chocolate has hardened, the kabobs are ready to serve. Enjoy this elegant, yet easy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

Recipe Notes

These Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs are versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. If you prefer dark chocolate or milk chocolate, feel free to substitute the white chocolate chips. For an added crunch, consider sprinkling the kabobs with crushed nuts or toffee bits before the chocolate sets.

You can also experiment with different fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, or banana slices to add more variety to your kabobs. The possibilities are endless, making this dessert a fun and creative way to enjoy your favorite flavors.
