Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Shell
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (melted for coating)
Filling
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (whipped until soft peaks form)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shortcake crumbs (for sprinkling inside and on top)
- 1 set Easter egg molds (for shaping the egg bombs)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and tools, including white chocolate chips, fresh strawberries, heavy cream, vanilla extract, shortcake crumbs, and Easter egg molds.
- Melt Chocolate Shell: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring frequently until fully smooth and melted without burning.
- Coat Molds: Using a pastry brush, coat the inside of the Easter egg molds evenly with the melted white chocolate. Place the molds in the refrigerator to chill until the chocolate shells are fully set and firm.
- Prepare Filling: In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold in the pureed strawberries and vanilla extract to combine, creating a light and airy strawberry cream filling.
- Assemble Egg Bombs: Once the white chocolate shell molds are set, carefully fill each shell with the strawberry cream mixture. Sprinkle in the shortcake crumbs to add texture and flavor inside the filling.
- Seal Eggs: Seal the two halves of each Easter egg by brushing melted white chocolate along the edges and pressing them together. Return the sealed egg bombs to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate shell is firm and sealed.
- Remove from Molds: Carefully remove the chilled Easter egg bombs from the molds, ensuring the shells remain intact and smooth for serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Whipping cream to soft peaks ensures a light filling texture; avoid overwhipping.
- Be gentle when removing chocolate eggs from molds to avoid cracking.
- To make cleanup easier, lightly grease the molds before applying chocolate.
- These egg bombs can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
