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.

Notes

  • Freezing the strawberry shortcake rolls makes cutting them into clean slices much easier. 
  • The cake slices are delicate. Use the strawberries to push the slices of cake into position on 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. 
  • Store leftover 4th of July fruit kabobs covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
