Using your hands, shape the mixture into small egg shapes and place them on a lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.

Remove the coconut eggs from the freezer and use a fork to dip them into the melted chocolate. Make sure they are completely coated and then tap off any excess chocolate.
Place the coated eggs back on the lined baking sheet and return to the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
