Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Carefully crack the top of each hollow chocolate egg to create a small opening. Cleanly remove the pieces and set them aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture until soft peaks form.
  • In another bowl, combine the diced strawberries with the strawberry jam. Mix gently until well-coated.
  • Set aside the crumbled shortcake or sponge cake for assembly.

Assembly

  • Layer the ingredients inside the hollow chocolate eggs starting with a spoonful of crumbled shortcake, then whipped cream, followed by the strawberry mixture. Repeat until filled.
  • Gently press down on the layers without breaking the shell.
  • Optionally place the top pieces of the chocolate eggs back on or leave them open.
  • Chill the filled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For better flavor, use high-quality chocolate eggs, and consider infusing whipped cream with citrus zest for brightness. Prevent overfilling to avoid cracks.
