Strawberry Shortcake Kebabs with Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream AND Giveaway Winner

I wanted something simple and light to serve for dessert to our dinner guests. I placed some pound cake and fresh strawberries onto skewers then made homemade vanilla bean whipped cream. Each person was served a skewer and a side of whipped cream for dipping. This dessert took less than 10 minutes to make and was loved by all - adults and children. A quick and fun dessert can't be beat!


Strawberry Shortcake Kebabs with Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream:

  • 1 vanilla bean, split down the center, seeds removed

  • Frozen pound cake, thawed and sliced into bite sized chunks
  • Wooden skewers
Combine the cold whipped cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla beans seeds. Using a beater, whip for 3-4 minutes or until thick and creamy. Place into the refrigerator until needed.


Alternate threading the skewers with strawberries and pound cake. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Serve with a side of the whipped cream. Enjoy.
