Hi, it’s Luma from recipeshall.com!

🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed shortbread cookies (or graham crackers)
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into powder
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
- White chocolate melts (for coating)
- Pastel food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles, crushed cookies, fresh diced strawberries (for decorating)
🥚 How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Treats
Step 1 — Mix the Filling
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Fold in crushed shortbread cookies and strawberry powder until the mixture forms a soft dough.
If it feels crumbly, add a splash more cream.
If it feels too sticky, add a little more cookie crumbs.
Step 2 — Shape into Easter Eggs
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and use your hands to shape them into small egg shapes.
Place on a parchment-lined tray.
This part always makes me feel like a kid again—except now I’m shaping dessert instead of dipping eggs in dye!
Step 3 — Chill
Freeze the shaped eggs for 15–20 minutes. This makes them easier to dip or drizzle.
Step 4 — Coat in Chocolate
Melt white chocolate and divide into bowls if using pastel colors.
Dip the chilled eggs or lightly drizzle chocolate over them.
Pastels make them so pretty for Easter, but plain white chocolate also looks gorgeous.
Step 5 — Decorate
Before the chocolate sets, add:
- rainbow sprinkles
- cookie crumbs
- strawberry bits
- or colored drizzle
Have fun here! Kids especially love this part.
Step 6 — Chill & Serve
Refrigerate until set—about 10 minutes.
Serve on a cute platter for the holiday table.
💡 Tips for the Best Easter Egg Treats
- No freeze-dried strawberries? Use strawberry Jello powder for flavor and color.
- Too soft? Add more cookie crumbs to thicken.
- Want it sweeter? Add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar.
- Make ahead: Keep in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for a full month.
- Want variety? Try lemon, raspberry, blueberry, or chocolate versions.

💛 A Little Story from My Kitchen
When I first made these, I wasn’t planning to turn them into Easter eggs. I was testing a strawberry shortcake truffle recipe, and my daughter walked into the kitchen, took one look, and said, “Can we make them into eggs?”
And honestly… she was right.
They turned out adorable. Like little springtime jewels.
It reminded me of what inspired recipeshall.com in the first place—the idea that food can be fun, lovable, and a little creative. So now, every Easter, we decorate a big batch of these together. It’s become a tradition I didn’t know we needed.
❓ FAQs About Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Treats
Can I use fresh strawberries?
Not for the dough—they add too much moisture. But they’re perfect for decorating.
Can I freeze these treats?
Yes! Freeze for up to 30 days in an airtight container.
Can I skip the chocolate coating?
Sure. They’re delicious without it, though the coating helps them hold shape and adds sweetness.
Can I make a gluten-free version?
Absolutely. Use gluten-free shortbread or graham-style cookies.
Spring doesn’t get any sweeter than these Strawberry Shortcake Easter Egg Treats. They’re easy, fun, and full of that fruity, creamy flavor that reminds you of warm weather and happy moments. Whether you’re sharing them with family, friends, or sneaking a few for yourself (no judgment!), they bring joy to any Easter celebration.
