How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs
Step 1 Melt and Mold the White Chocolate Shells
First, melt the white chocolate gently until smooth. Stir frequently so it stays glossy.
Next, spoon the melted chocolate into silicone egg molds. Rotate the molds to coat the inside evenly. Then let the excess drip out.
After that, refrigerate the molds until the chocolate fully sets and forms firm shells.
Step 2 Prepare the Strawberry Shortcake Filling
Meanwhile, whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
Then fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Gently mix in the crushed freeze dried strawberries.
Next, stir in crushed cookies and lightly swirl in strawberry jam. The filling should look fluffy with small pockets of jam.
Step 3 Fill and Seal the Easter Egg Bombs
Carefully remove the hardened shells from the molds. Spoon the filling into each half, but do not overfill.
Then spread a small amount of melted chocolate along the edges. Press the halves together gently.
After that, chill the Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs until fully set.
Step 4 Decorate and Garnish
Finally, drizzle melted chocolate over the top. Sprinkle extra cookie crumbs if you like. You can also add fresh strawberry slices for a bright spring finish.
Recipe Tips for Perfect Results
How to Prevent Chocolate from Cracking
Keep the chocolate slightly thick but still fluid. Also, apply a second coat if the shell looks thin. As a result, the shells stay sturdy.
How to Get Clean Smooth Egg Shells
Tap the mold lightly on the counter to release air bubbles. Then scrape the top edges clean before chilling. Because of that, your Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs look polished.
How to Seal the Halves Neatly
Warm a plate slightly and touch each shell edge to it for a second. Then press together. This creates a smooth seam.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not overheat the chocolate. Also, avoid overmixing the filling. Furthermore, do not rush the chilling time.
