Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounce white chocolate, chopped
  • 2 ounce pink candy melts
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed shortcake biscuits

Instructions

1. Melt the white chocolate and pink candy melts separately. This can be done in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as this can cause it to seize up. Once melted, use the chocolate to coat the inside of egg-shaped molds, ensuring a smooth and even layer. Chill the coated molds until the chocolate is set.

2. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and strawberry jam until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture, then fold in the crushed shortcake biscuits. The result is a fluffy, flavorful filling that perfectly captures the essence of strawberry shortcake.

3. Carefully fill the chocolate shells with the strawberry shortcake filling, taking care not to overfill or break the shells. Top each filled shell with a second layer of chocolate, sealing the filling inside. Chill the assembled Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs until the chocolate is firm and set.

4. Once the Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs are chilled and set, it’s time to decorate them. Sprinkle the tops with crushed shortcake crumbs, arrange fresh strawberry slices, and finish with a drizzle of melted pink chocolate and a dusting of edible gold sprinkles. The result is a visually stunning and irresistible dessert that’s sure to impress your guests.

Notes

To ensure your Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs turn out perfectly every time, here are a few helpful tips:

Avoid Overheating the Chocolate: Be mindful when melting the chocolate to prevent it from seizing up or becoming too thick, which can make it difficult to work with.

Chill the Shells Thoroughly: Make sure to chill the chocolate-coated molds until the shells are completely set before filling them. This will help prevent the shells from cracking or breaking when you add the filling.

Fold Gently: When combining the whipped cream and strawberry mixture, fold the ingredients together gently to maintain the light and airy texture of the filling.

Store Properly: Keep the assembled Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve. They can be stored for up to 3 days, but the freshest results will be achieved within the first 24 hours.
