Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Melt 8 ounces of white chocolate in a double boiler or very gently in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds until silky.
- Spoon or brush chocolate into egg-shaped molds, covering the insides completely. Chill the molds for about 10–15 minutes.
- Add a second thin layer for strength and chill until fully set before carefully unmolding your delicate white chocolate eggs.
Filling Base
- In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to soft peaks and set aside.
- In another bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Add Strawberry Flavor
- Stir 1/2 cup strawberry jam and 1/4 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.
Fold Filling
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and airy.
- Fold in 1/2 cup crushed shortcake biscuits and half of the 1 cup fresh strawberry slices, chopped into small pieces.
Assemble the Bombs
- Spoon or pipe the filling into half-shells, leaving a little room to seal the tops.
- Warm a small plate and press the rims of two halves together briefly against it to melt edges, then seal to form an egg.
- Repeat until finished.
Decorate
- Melt 1 cup pink candy melts or use 1/2 cup melted pink chocolate for a pretty drizzle.
- Drizzle over the eggs and sprinkle with edible gold sprinkles for a touch of springtime sparkle.
Notes
Serve these chilled and enjoy with good company. They make a lovely centerpiece for spring events.
