🍓Strawberry Shortcake Kabob Ingredients
See recipe card at the bottom of the post for the exact quantities.
- Red fruits. Strawberries also act as a "pusher" to slide more delicate items onto the skewer and help hold everything in place. Cut very large strawberries into smaller pieces.
Also, try raspberries, cherries, or seedless watermelon- you can even use a star cookie cutter to cut watermelon into a star shape. - Blue fruits. Blackberries and big, plump blueberries large enough to skewer. Concord grapes are another great option.
- Cake cubes. I couldn't resist the pretty red and white swirl of Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake rolls. You can also use marshmallows, pound cake, angel food cake, mini muffins, or even rice krispie treats.
- White chocolate. Use good quality white chocolate chips so they'll melt and drizzle smoothly.
🥣How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs
Step 1: Thread alternating layers of red fruits, white cake, and blue fruits onto wooden skewers. Place the fruit skewers on a large plate or cookie sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper.
Step 2: Melt white chocolate and oil in the microwave until smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate over the fruit kabobs. Place in the fridge for a few minutes for the chocolate to harden.
Enjoy or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Delicious with Strawberry Marshmallow Fluff fruit dip or Cool Whip Fruit Dip.
👉Top Tip: Briefly freeze the strawberry shortcake rolls to make cutting them into clean slices much easier.
☑️Tips
- The cake slices are delicate. Use the strawberries to push the slices of cake onto the skewers.
- When cutting the cake rolls, wipe the blade between slices as necessary for the cleanest cuts.
- Ending the kabob with a strawberry helps anchor the other items onto the skewer.
🎁Storage
Store leftover strawberry shortcake kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

📖 Recipe
Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs
Equipment
- 12 bamboo skewers
Ingredients
- 1 box Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake rolls or cubes of pound cake or angel food cake
- 36 strawberries
- 24 large blueberries
- 24 blackberries
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon oil coconut oil, shortening, or canola oil
Instructions
- Place the strawberry shortcake rolls in the freezer while you wash and prep the berries. Slice each strawberry shortcake roll into 6 slices.
- Thread each skewer with alternating layers of cake roll, red fruit, and blue fruit. I did 2 layers each of strawberry shortcake roll, a strawberry, a blackberry, and a blueberry, one more cake roll, and one more strawberry. Arrange fruit kabobs on a large plate or baking sheet covered with wax paper or parchment paper.
- Melt white chocolate and oil in microwave for 30 seconds, and stir. Continue to heat in 15-second intervals until melted and creamy. Add a tiny bit more oil as needed to reach drizzling consistency. Use a spoon to drizzle the white chocolate over the fruit kabobs. Refrigerate to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Best enjoyed the same day.
