Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Make sure it's softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup crushed vanilla wafers (fine crumbs)
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberry crumbs (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
Coating and Topping
  • 12 oz white melting wafers
  • 2 tablespoons additional freeze-dried strawberry crumbs For decoration.
  • 2-3 oz white chocolate tinted pink (optional, for drizzle)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until thick and creamy.
  3. Stir in crushed vanilla wafers, freeze-dried strawberry crumbs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.
  4. If the mixture is too soft to shape, refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before forming.
Shaping the Eggs
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling, roll it into a ball, and then gently shape it into an oval egg form.
  3. Place the shaped eggs evenly spaced on the tray.
  4. Freeze for 30–45 minutes until firm.
Coating
  1. Melt white melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and glossy.
  2. Using a fork, lower one chilled egg into the melted white chocolate.
  3. Lift and tap gently to remove excess coating, then place it back on the parchment paper.
  4. Repeat with remaining eggs, working in batches.
Decoration
  1. Before the chocolate fully sets, sprinkle the tops with freeze-dried strawberry crumbs.
  2. Drizzle with pink-tinted white chocolate for a strawberry shortcake look.
  3. Allow to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve slightly chilled for the best texture. If the filling is too sticky, chill it in the fridge before shaping the eggs. For added flavor, you can mix in finely chopped fresh strawberries.
