Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Filling
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for sprinkling over strawberries
For the Shortcake
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (or whipping cream for a lighter version)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Assembly
  • Chocolate eggs for decoration

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by hulling and slicing the fresh strawberries, placing them in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle a little bit of sugar over them to bring out the sweetness. Set aside.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Gradually add in the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix!
Assembly and Baking
  1. Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into small balls. You can create an indent with your thumb to hold the strawberries later.
  2. Fill the indents with the sliced strawberries and mold the dough around them, ensuring the filling is enclosed. Shape into egg forms if you like!
  3. Place the formed bombs on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Finishing Touches
  1. While the bombs are baking, whip the remaining heavy cream until it holds soft peaks.
  2. Let the bombs cool slightly, then drizzle with whipped cream and place a decorated chocolate egg on top. Enjoy!

Notes

For substitutions, you can use low-fat whipped cream or a sugar substitute. Keep an eye on your bombs as they bake to avoid overbaking them. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to one month.
