Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled
1 loaf pound cake or 6 shortcake biscuits, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping (homemade or store-bought)
12 to 16 wooden skewers
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

Hull strawberries. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 10 minutes.

Notes

Store assembled kabobs in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving
Cool Whip or dairy-free whipped toppings are great non-homemade alternatives
