# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
03 - Whisk cream and egg in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir until just combined.
04 - Turn dough onto floured surface, pat to ¾-inch thickness, and cut into small rounds with a 2-inch cutter. Place on baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
05 - Let shortcakes cool completely, then crumble into small pieces.
06 - Toss diced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
07 - Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
08 - Melt white chocolate in microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Divide and tint with pastel food coloring if desired.
09 - Brush melted chocolate into silicone Easter egg molds, covering sides evenly. Chill for 10 minutes, add second coat, and chill until firm.
10 - Carefully unmold the chocolate egg halves.
11 - Fill half of the egg shells with shortcake crumbs, macerated strawberries, and whipped cream. Top with more shortcake if desired.
12 - Gently warm edges of second shell half and press onto filled half to seal. Decorate with extra melted chocolate, sprinkles, or edible glitter if desired. Chill until ready to serve.
