Coconut Easter Eggs 🥥💖🥚
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups shredded coconut 🥥
1 cup sweetened condensed milk 🥛
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil 🥥
Sprinkles for decoration (optional) 🌈
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix it all up until you have a thick, sticky dough that’s ready for shaping!
2. Scoop out small portions of the mixture and mold them into delightful egg-like ovals. Carefully place these on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Pop them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up; this will make them easier to coat in chocolate later.
4. While those are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Do this in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until it’s smooth and creamy.
5. Using a fork, gently dip each coconut egg into the melted chocolate, making sure they’re fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and set them back down on the parchment paper.
6. If you want to add some festive flair, sprinkle your favorite decorations on while the chocolate is still wet. Then, let them set at room temperature or speed things up by popping them in the fridge.
Enjoy your homemade coconut Easter eggs! 🌟
