Benefits of Making Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs

Ingredients You’ll Need
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts (for the shells)
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 1 ½ cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)
- 1 ½ cups cubed pound cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: strawberry jam or compote for an extra fruity punch
Tools for the Magic ✨
- Silicone Easter egg molds (half-egg shape)
- Small spoon or pastry brush
- Piping bag or Ziploc (for neat whipped cream layers)
- Microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)
- Spatula
- Small offset spatula or butter knife
Easy Swaps & Additions
- Swap white chocolate for milk or dark for a richer shell.
- Add a thin smear of jam before layering for extra fruity depth.
- Use angel food cake instead of pound cake for a lighter bite.
- Sprinkle in crushed freeze-dried strawberries for texture!
How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs
Step 1: Prep Your Shells
Melt your white chocolate and coat each half-egg mold using a spoon or pastry brush. Make sure it’s thick enough to hold! Chill for 10–15 minutes until set. Do a second coat if needed for sturdiness.
Step 2: Build the Filling
In a bowl, toss strawberries with a splash of vanilla. Pipe or spoon a bit of whipped cream into each shell. Add cubes of pound cake, a few strawberries, and another swirl of whipped cream. Leave a bit of space at the top so it can close cleanly.
Step 3: Seal the Bombs
Warm a plate slightly and press an empty chocolate half onto it for a few seconds to soften the edges. Quickly place it on top of the filled half to seal. Smooth with your finger or a warm spatula.
Step 4: Decorate (Optional but Adorable!)
Drizzle with more melted chocolate, add sprinkles, edible glitter, or mini freeze-dried strawberries. This is where you go wild!
What to Serve With Them
- Fresh strawberry lemonade
- A light prosecco or rosé
- A spring salad with citrus vinaigrette (if you want to balance all that sweet!)
- Honestly? Just a fork and a smile works too. 🥄😊
Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill the shell or it won’t seal properly.
- Chill the filled halves for a few minutes before sealing for easier handling.
- If you don’t have molds, use small bowls lined with cling film!
- Want to make ahead? Store the filled halves separately and seal day-of.
Storing Your Egg Bombs
- Fridge: Up to 3 days, stored in an airtight container.
- Freezer: Shells freeze great on their own; just fill fresh for best texture.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble and store unsealed shells for a day or two. Seal and decorate the day you serve for the freshest texture.
What if I don’t have silicone molds?
You can improvise with any round-ish container lined in plastic wrap, or use large cupcake molds. You’ll just get a different shape!
Can I use frozen strawberries?
They tend to get a bit watery, so if you must, thaw and pat dry thoroughly before using.
