Coconut Cream Eggs 🥥🍫

✅Prep Time: 20 minutes
Chilling Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes
✅Kcal: Approximately 150 kcal per egg
Servings: Makes about 12 eggs

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 cup condensed milk
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
• Assorted food coloring (optional)
• Decorative sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, condensed milk, powdered sugar, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
• If you want to create colorful coconut eggs, divide the mixture into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Mix until you achieve your desired colors.
• Take small portions of the colored or plain coconut mixture and shape them into egg-like forms. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
• Using a fork or a dipping tool, carefully dip each coconut egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• While the chocolate is still wet, you can decorate the coconut eggs with sprinkles if desired.
• Refrigerate the coconut cream eggs for at least an hour or until the chocolate is set.
• Store the delightful coconut cream eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
