Method
Preparation
- Melt the white chocolate and pink candy melts in a double boiler or gently in 15–20 second bursts in the microwave, stirring between bursts until smooth. Reserve some white chocolate for sealing and pink for color accents if using both.
- Spoon or paint the melted chocolate into clean egg-shaped silicone molds, tilting and rotating to coat evenly. Chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes, then add a second thin layer for sturdiness. Remove fully set shells from molds and handle gently.
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream to make a light, tangy filling.
- Stir strawberry jam and crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the cream mixture for bright flavor, then gently fold in the crushed shortcake biscuits for texture. Reserve a few fresh strawberry slices for garnish.
- Pipe or spoon a dollop of filling into one half of each chocolate egg shell. Add a thin slice of fresh strawberry on top of the filling, then place the matching chocolate half on and press lightly. Use a dab of warmed white chocolate to seal the seam if needed.
- Drizzle melted pink chocolate over the assembled eggs and finish with a scatter of edible gold sprinkles for a Southern-fancy touch. Chill briefly to set the drizzle.
Notes
Serve chilled on a pretty platter lined with doilies or gingham. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer keeping.
