Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer treat featuring juicy strawberries and fluffy shortcake cubes dipped in smooth semi-sweet chocolate, perfect for no-fuss gatherings and refreshing desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and washed
  • 1 standard store-bought shortcake (about 8 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 6–8 inch wooden skewers, soaked in water for 10 minutes

Instructions

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then dry gently with paper towels.
  2. Cut the shortcake into uniform 1-inch cubes.
  3. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil (or butter) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring after each until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
  4. Thread the shortcake cubes and strawberries alternately onto the wooden skewers, starting with a shortcake cube.
  5. Dip each strawberry and shortcake segment into the melted chocolate, either fully or halfway, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
  6. Place the dipped kabobs on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers if grilling to prevent burning. Pat strawberries dry to prevent chocolate from sliding off. Chill kabobs for 15-20 minutes for best chocolate snap. Optional: sprinkle sea salt on finished kabobs to enhance flavor. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate chips. Gluten-free shortcake or pound cake can be used for gluten sensitivity.
