Strawberry Shortcake Kebabs with Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream

I wanted something simple and light to serve for dessert to our dinner guests, so I placed some pound cake and fresh strawberries on skewers and then made homemade vanilla bean whipped cream. Each person was served a skewer with some whipped cream for dipping. This strawberry shortcake kebabs with vanilla bean whipped cream recipe took less than 10 minutes to make and was loved by all–adults and children.

How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Kebabs with Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream
