Cut the watermelon into bite-sized cubes, roughly 2 cm on each side. You will need about 4 cubes per skewer.
Peel the kiwis and cut them into thick slices, then further into smaller quarters. Aim for pieces roughly the same size as the watermelon cubes.
Assemble the skewers by alternating watermelon and kiwi pieces. Place them on a serving platter.
In a food processor or blender, purΓ©e the strawberries until smooth.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and strawberry purΓ©e into the whipped cream until fully combined and fluffy. This is the starry strawberry cream.
Transfer the strawberry cream into a small serving dish and sprinkle the edible star decorations on top for a playful garnish.
Serve the fruit skewers with the strawberry cream dip on the side. Enjoy immediately!
