Step 1
Create chocolate shells
Melt white chocolate and coat the inside of Easter egg molds. Chill until set, then apply a second layer for strength.
Step 2
Prepare filling
Whip cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Fold whipped cream into the mixture, then add strawberries and jam or freeze-dried strawberries.
Step 3
Add cake layer
Mix crumbled sponge cake with a small amount of cream filling to create a soft shortcake base.
Step 4
Assemble eggs
Fill half of each chocolate shell with cake mixture and cream filling, then close with the remaining shell halves.
Step 5
Seal and decorate
Use melted chocolate to seal edges if needed, then drizzle with pink chocolate and add sprinkles.
Step 6
Chill and serve
Refrigerate until fully set, then serve chilled for best texture and structure.
Chill between steps
Refrigerating the shells during assembly helps prevent cracking.
Dry strawberries well
Excess moisture can soften the chocolate shells.
Chocolate strawberry version
Use milk chocolate shells instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor.
Jam-filled version
Replace fresh strawberries with strawberry jam for a smoother filling.
Refrigerator
