Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Shell
  • 8 oz white chocolate use high-quality for a shiny, smooth finish
  • pink candy melts optional; adds vibrant color
For the Filling
  • 1 cup heavy cream can be substituted with coconut cream for a dairy-free option
  • 8 oz cream cheese for a vegan option, substitute with plant-based cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional but highly recommended
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam can be substituted with raspberry or blueberry jam
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries no direct substitutes recommended
  • 1 cup crushed shortcake biscuits ensure gluten-free if needed

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • egg-shaped molds

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by chopping 8 oz of high-quality white chocolate into small pieces for even melting. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and melted, about 1-2 minutes total.
  2. Using a spoon or pastry brush, carefully coat the insides of your egg-shaped molds with the melted white chocolate, creating a thick, even layer. Once filled, place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Whip the mixture on medium-high speed until fluffy and holds stiff peaks, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the strawberry jam, freeze-dried strawberries, and crushed shortcake biscuits into the whipped mixture until fully combined.
  5. Spoon the prepared filling into the chilled chocolate molds, filling just above the edges. Use a spatula to smooth the tops.
  6. Carefully place the tops of the chocolate shells over the filled halves and gently press to seal. Return to the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Once set, gently remove the bombs from their molds. Drizzle melted pink candy melts over the tops and decorate with fresh strawberry slices and optional edible gold sprinkles.
