Strawberry Shortcake Egg Bombs (Printable)

Chocolate egg shells filled with strawberry-shortcake cream and biscuit crumbs—festive handheld spring treats.

# What You Need:

→ Chocolate Egg Shells

01 - 9 ounces white or milk chocolate, chopped

→ Strawberry Shortcake Filling

02 - 7 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, kept cold
05 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 3.5 ounces shortcake biscuits, crushed

→ Decorations (optional)

08 - Sprinkles, edible glitter, or colored icing

# Directions:

01 - Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water using a double boiler method until smooth. Spoon melted chocolate into silicone Easter egg molds, swirling to coat the sides evenly. Refrigerate for 10 minutes until set. Apply a second coat for durability and chill for another 15 minutes until completely firm.
02 - In a small bowl, combine diced strawberries with granulated sugar and allow to macerate for 10 minutes, releasing their juices.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in the crushed shortcake biscuits and macerated strawberries gently.
04 - Carefully unmold the chocolate egg halves. Place strawberry shortcake filling inside one half of each egg. Align and gently press the matching half on top to seal, using a dab of melted chocolate as adhesive if necessary.
05 - Drizzle with additional melted chocolate, then scatter sprinkles, colored icing, or edible glitter as desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
