Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Shell
- 12 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 2 oz pink candy melts
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
Decoration
- Crushed shortcake crumbs
- Fresh strawberry slices
- Edible gold sprinkles
- Melted pink chocolate (from candy melts)
Instructions
- Make the Chocolate Shell: Melt the white chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Use a brush or spoon to coat the inside of Easter egg molds with a thin layer of the melted white chocolate. Chill the molds in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens and forms a firm shell.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese with the heavy cream and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the strawberry jam, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and crushed shortcake biscuits until well combined, ensuring the mixture maintains a light texture.
- Assemble the Eggs: Remove the hardened chocolate shells from the molds. Fill half of the shells with the prepared strawberry shortcake filling, smoothing the surface. Warm a little extra white chocolate to use as glue, then spread it around the edges of the filled half. Gently press an unfilled chocolate half on top to seal the egg completely.
- Chill to Set: Place the assembled strawberry shortcake eggs in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to set the seal and allow the filling to firm up inside the chocolate shell.
- Decorate: Melt the pink candy melts and drizzle the pink chocolate over the surface of the eggs for decoration. Sprinkle crushed shortcake crumbs and edible gold sprinkles on top, then garnish each with a fresh strawberry slice for an elegant finish.
- Serve & Enjoy: Present the strawberry shortcake Easter egg bombs for your guests to crack open or bite into directly, revealing the delicious creamy strawberry filling within the crisp white chocolate shell.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier whipping.
- Use quality white chocolate for a smoother shell and better flavor.
- Freeze-dried strawberries add intense flavor without adding moisture—don’t substitute with fresh strawberries in the filling.
- Seal the chocolate halves properly to prevent the filling from leaking.
- Chill the eggs well before decorating for best results.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for freshness.
