Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Spoon or brush

Method

Making the Eggs

1. Melt the Chocolate: Begin by melting the white chocolate and pink candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Use 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth. This ensures even melting without burning the chocolate.

2. Prepare the Shells: Using a spoon or brush, coat the inside of the Easter egg molds with the melted chocolate mixture. Ensure an even layer to create sturdy shells. Refrigerate the molds for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

3. Create the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip these ingredients until fluffy and well incorporated. Gently fold in the strawberry jam, freeze-dried strawberries, and crushed shortcake biscuits. This filling will provide the luscious, fruity center of your egg bombs.

4. Assemble the Bombs: Fill half of each hardened chocolate shell with the strawberry filling. Carefully seal each filled half with more melted chocolate. Ensure a tight seal to keep the filling intact.

5. Chill and Decorate: Place the assembled eggs back in the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes to set. Once chilled, decorate with additional melted pink chocolate, a sprinkle of shortcake crumbs, and fresh strawberry slices. For a touch of elegance, sprinkle some edible gold sprinkles on top.

6. Serve and Enjoy: These delightful treats can be served by cracking open the eggs or simply taking a satisfying bite. Share and enjoy!
