Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- Fresh blueberries, washed and dried
- Shortcake biscuits, store-bought or homemade, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Whipped cream, lightly sweetened
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- Wooden skewers, about 6 inches long
Instructions
- Gently rinse the strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel. Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice them in halves or quarters depending on their size.
- Slice your shortcake biscuits into approximately 1-inch cubes. Aim for bite-sized pieces that’ll stack nicely on the skewers without crumbling too much.
- Start by threading a piece of shortcake onto the skewer, followed by a strawberry half, then a blueberry, and repeat until you have 3-4 layers or the skewer is full. Be gentle to avoid squishing the fruit or breaking the biscuit.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to add a dollop of whipped cream to the top of each skewer after assembly. This step can be done just before serving to keep the biscuit from getting soggy.
- Lightly sprinkle powdered sugar over the skewers for a pretty finish (optional).
- Serve immediately to enjoy fresh and crumbly shortcakes with juicy berries.
Notes
Assemble skewers just before serving to prevent soggy shortcakes. For sweeter berries, toss with a teaspoon of sugar and let sit for 10 minutes before assembling. Substitute raspberries or blackberries if strawberries are out of season. Use coconut whipped cream for dairy-free and gluten-free biscuits for gluten-free options.
