Ingredients

• 3 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
• 1.25 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 0 for garnish Sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a sticky but shapeable dough forms.

Step 3

Using your hands, shape the coconut mixture into small egg shapes, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches long. Place the shaped eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4

Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill the eggs for at least 1 hour or until firm.

Step 5

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, microwaving in 30-second intervals and stirring after each round, until smooth.

Step 6

Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled coconut egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the egg back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7

If desired, add sprinkles or decorations to the eggs while the chocolate coating is still wet.

Step 8

Let the chocolate-coated eggs set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens completely.

Step 9

Store the Coconut Easter Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve and enjoy!
