Ingredients
- 6 large hollow chocolate eggs store-bought
- 2 cups prepared strawberry cake crumbled
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries finely chopped and patted dry
- Optional Add-Ins:
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
- Melted white chocolate for drizzle
- Crushed freeze-dried strawberries
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Eggs
- If eggs are sealed, carefully cut them in half using a warm, dry sharp knife.
- Place egg halves open-side up on a tray for stability.
- Handle gently to avoid cracking.
- Step 2: Make the Whipped Filling
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold in chopped strawberries. Do not overmix.
- Step 3: Prepare the Cake Layer
- Crumble prepared strawberry cake into small pieces in a separate bowl.
- Step 4: Assemble the Egg Bombs
- Spoon a layer of cake crumbles into the bottom of each chocolate egg half.
- Pipe or spoon whipped strawberry cream over the cake.
- Add a small swirl of strawberry jam (optional).
- Top with another swirl of whipped cream for a rounded “egg” appearance.
- Garnish with extra cake crumbs or crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
- Step 5: Chill
- Refrigerate assembled egg bombs for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Pat strawberries dry to prevent soggy cake.
- Do not overwhip cream — stop at soft peaks.
- Assemble the same day for best texture.
- Store covered in the refrigerator.
- Avoid freezing assembled desserts, as whipped cream may lose structure.
