White Chocolate Strawberry Pound Cake Skewers

Strawberries and pound cake. They're made for each other! Drizzled with white chocolate, these Strawberry Pound Cake Skewers make a beautiful dessert!

It's my favorite time of the year!  The weather is starting to get warmer, the days are longer, and the gardens are growing!  Our local farmer's market opened up a couple weeks ago and Summer and I went down to get some fresh vegetables.  There aren't too many fruits in season yet, but that time will be here soon.

My strawberry plants have flowers, and I'm hoping it won't be long before the fruit starts to grow.  In the meantime, I'll keep enjoying strawberries from the grocery store or the farmer's market.  The past few times I've purchased strawberries I've been impressed with how red and flavorful they are.  I love to have a big bowl of strawberries for snack.

I also enjoy strawberries as a part of a delicious dessert like the topping of a pound cake or center stage in these delicious White Chocolate Strawberry Pound Cake Skewers.  I made my favorite Almond Pound Cake with fresh strawberry sauce for Mother's Day dessert a couple weeks ago.  I had about half a cake left over, and while the cake alone was delicious, I wanted to come up with a fun way to enjoy the rest.

These skewers were a fun way to enjoy both the pound cake and the abundance of strawberries I had!  They're super easy to make and make an impressive impression when served!  I first made these on small skewers, but then decided they looked a little boring.  I decided to use longer skewers and drizzle white chocolate on top of the strawberries and pound cake.  I'm glad I did--the chocolate drizzle was just what this dessert needed to liven it up and make it special.

The directions on this cake are pretty basic. You can make as many or as few skewers as you'd like.  If you want to use an entire pound cake, go for it.  If you have half a cake leftover like I did, then use that!  In fact, you could even use an angel food cake if you wanted to!  Chocolate chips would be a delicious topping if you didn't want to use white chocolate.  Make mini skewers or make longer ones.  You can come up with any pattern you'd like too--so have fun with these!

White Chocolate Strawberry Pound Cake Skewers

Ingredients:
Pound cake
Strawberries
1 cup white chocolate chips

1.  Cut the pound cake into thick slices and then cube each slice.

2.  Wash and hull strawberries. Cut in half, if desired.

3.  Assemble the skewers in any pattern that you desire.  I did pound cake-strawberry-pound cake etc.

4.  Put the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and then microwave in 15 second increments, stirring after each time, until chocolate can be stirred smooth.

5.  Scoop the chocolate chips into a pastry bag or a ziploc bag with the end snipped off and drizzle over the skewers.  Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.

Cover any leftovers and refrigerate.
