Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries washed, dried, and tops removed
  • 1 loaf pound cake store-bought or homemade, cut into 1-inch cubes
Drizzle
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 0.5 tsp coconut oil optional, helps thin chocolate for drizzling

Equipment

  • Wooden Skewers
  • Serrated knife
  • Cutting board
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Ziploc bag or piping bag

Method
 

  1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry. Use a paring knife to remove the green leafy tops.
  2. Using a serrated knife, cut the pound cake into roughly 1-inch thick cubes.
  3. Thread the ingredients onto wooden skewers, alternating between a strawberry and a cube of pound cake. Leave some space at the bottom of the stick for a handle.
  4. Place the assembled skewers flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth and melted.
  6. Transfer the melted chocolate into a small Ziploc bag, snip off a tiny corner, and drizzle heavily back and forth over the skewers.
  7. Let the skewers sit for 10 minutes (or pop them in the fridge) until the chocolate hardens before serving.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before assembling, otherwise the melted chocolate will not stick properly. Best assembled on the day of serving.
