Get Your Ingredients Ready
Before you begin making your homemade coconut Easter eggs, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. For this recipe, you will need shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and milk chocolate chips. You can also add in some food coloring to make your eggs more festive and colorful. It's always a good idea to have some extra ingredients on hand in case you want to make a larger batch or if you make a mistake during the process. Now, let's move on to the steps for making these tasty treats!
Start by Mixing the Coconut and Condensed Milk
In a large bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups of shredded coconut and ⅓ cup of condensed milk. This will form the base of your coconut filling. If you want to add some color to your eggs, you can add a few drops of food coloring at this stage and mix it in well. Green, pink, and yellow are popular colors for Easter eggs, but feel free to get creative and use your favorite colors.
Add Some Flavor and Shape Your Eggs
Next, add in 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the coconut mixture and mix well. This will give your eggs a delicious vanilla flavor that pairs perfectly with the coconut. Now, it's time to shape your eggs. Take a small handful of the coconut mixture and roll it into an egg shape. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the mixture. Place your coconut eggs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and put them in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes.
Dip in Chocolate and Let Your Eggs Set
Once your eggs have set, it's time to dip them in chocolate. Melt 1 cup of milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Take your coconut eggs out of the fridge and dip them one by one into the melted chocolate. Make sure to coat the eggs evenly and then place them back on the parchment paper. You can also use a fork to create a ribbed effect on the chocolate. Place the eggs back in the fridge for another 30 minutes to let the chocolate set.
Enjoy Your Homemade Coconut Easter Eggs!
Once the chocolate has hardened, your homemade coconut Easter eggs are ready to be enjoyed! These delicious and unique treats are sure to be a hit with everyone, and you can even package them up in colorful wrapping or gift bags to give to your loved ones.
