Ingredients
  

For the Shortcake Bombs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
For the Strawberry Filling
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For Assembly
  • as needed whipped cream for serving

Equipment

  • Easter egg mold (or muffin tin)
  • Large bowl
  • Pastry blender (or your fingertips)
  • Wire rack
  • Medium bowl

Method
 

Prepare the Shortcake
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an Easter egg mold or a muffin tin for your shortcake bases.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then gradually add the heavy cream, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Shape and Bake
  1. Gently press the dough into your prepared Easter egg mold cavities, ensuring they are evenly filled; if using a muffin tin, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into egg-like forms.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the shortcakes are golden brown and cooked through, then let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the Strawberry Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, gently toss the diced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice.
  2. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes, letting the strawberries release their juices and create a natural syrup.
Assemble the Bombs
  1. Once the shortcake bases are cool, carefully slice each egg-shaped shortcake horizontally into two halves.
  2. Spoon a generous amount of the strawberry filling onto the bottom half of each shortcake, then top with a dollop of whipped cream before placing the other shortcake half on top.
  3. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Bombs!

Notes

For an extra touch, you can brush the baked shortcake halves with a little milk or cream before assembly for added moisture and richness. If you don't have an Easter egg mold, a muffin tin works great; simply shape the dough into egg-like forms before baking. These bombs are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftover components separately and assemble just before serving.
