Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 medium-sized strawberries Fresh strawberries
- 1 loaf (approximately 12 oz) Pound cake
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 12 wooden or metal skewers (approximately 8 inches long) Skewers
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the strawberries. Remove the green tops and set them aside.
Cut the pound cake into 1-inch cubes, aiming for approximately 48 cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Beat until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag or use a spoon to dollop later.
To assemble the kabobs, thread a cube of pound cake onto the skewer, followed by a strawberry, and continue alternating until there are four pieces of pound cake and four strawberries on each skewer. Leave a small gap between components to make handling easier.
Arrange the kabobs on a serving platter. Just before serving, pipe or dollop the whipped cream onto the kabobs or serve on the side for dipping.
Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of additional powdered sugar or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch!
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful treat!
