Ingredients
Scale
For the Chocolate Shell
- 12 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 2 oz pink candy melts
For the Strawberry Shortcake Filling
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- ½ cup strawberry jam
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed shortcake biscuits
For Decoration
- Crushed shortcake crumbs
- Fresh strawberry slices
- Edible gold sprinkles
- Melted pink chocolate
Instructions
- Make the Chocolate Shell: Melt the chopped white chocolate until smooth, then carefully coat the Easter egg molds with an even layer of the melted chocolate. Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes to set the shells firmly.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese and heavy cream together with the powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the strawberry jam, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and crushed shortcake biscuits to create a creamy, textured filling.
- Assemble the Eggs: Remove the chocolate shells from the molds and fill half of them with the prepared strawberry shortcake mixture. Seal each filled half with a bit of melted white chocolate and carefully press the corresponding empty half on top to form a complete egg.
- Chill to Set: Place the assembled Easter egg bombs in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to allow the chocolate seal to harden and the filling to set properly.
- Decorate: Drizzle the eggs with melted pink candy melts, sprinkle with extra shortcake crumbs for added crunch, and adorn with fresh strawberry slices along with edible gold sprinkles to enhance their festive look.
- Serve & Enjoy: Present the eggs as a stunning dessert centerpiece and enjoy cracking them open or biting into the combination of creamy filling and crisp chocolate shell for a delightful strawberry shortcake experience.
Notes
- Make sure to melt the chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to avoid burning.
- Crushing the shortcake biscuits finely will help blend the texture into the filling nicely.
- Freeze-dried strawberries give an intense strawberry flavor without adding moisture which helps the filling keep its consistency.
- Refrigerate the eggs after assembly to maintain their shape and keep the filling fresh.
- Use good quality white chocolate and candy melts for best taste and smoothness.
- These treats can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
