It\u2019s just a matter of mixing, shaping, and dipping. It\u2019s a great project for involving the kids!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a special treat for the Easter season, whether it\u2019s for your family or to give as homemade gifts, this coconut cream eggs recipe is for you. If you need more Easter basket ideas, try these chocolate covered strawberries<\/a>,\u00a0homemade toffee<\/a>, or\u00a0coconut macaroons<\/a>.<\/p>\n The classic combination of chocolate and coconut come together in a delightful spring treat. A creamy and sweet coconut filling is made with sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar<\/a> and coconut flakes that gets dipped in chocolate. This homemade candy is such much better than the store-bought version!<\/p>\n Step 1: <\/strong>In the bowl of a\u00a0stand mixer<\/a>\u00a0fitted with a paddle attachment or with a hand\u00a0mixer<\/a>, combine the coconut, condensed milk,\u00a0vanilla<\/a>\u00a0and coconut extracts. Mix on low speed until combined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Step 2: <\/strong>Next add the\u00a0powdered sugar\u00a01 cup at a time on low speed. Mix until combined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Step 3: <\/strong>Place the coconut mixture onto a lightly\u00a0powdered sugar\u00a0dusted counter, dust with more\u00a0powdered sugar\u00a0and roll to about \u00bd inch thick. (if you don\u2019t have a cutter, you can skip this step and take a spoonful of the coconut filling and roll it into an egg-like shape with your hands. You may need to lightly dust your hands with\u00a0powdered sugar\u00a0so they don\u2019t stick to the coconut mixture).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Step 4: <\/strong>Using an egg cookie cutter cut the eggs out and place onto the prepared sheet pan\/plates. A bench\u00a0knife<\/a>\u00a0is helpful for removing the coconut eggs from your rolling surface.<\/p>\n Place your eggs into the freezer for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Step 5: <\/strong>Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together by placing them in a large glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the water never touches the bottom of the bowl. Heat until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Another alternative is to melt the two together in the microwave using a heat-proof, microwaveable bowl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Step 6: <\/strong>Remove the eggs from the freezer and working quickly\u00a0dip<\/a>\u00a0one by one in the melted chocolate, using forks or candy dipping tools. Gently tap off any excess chocolate and place the eggs back onto the\u00a0parchment<\/a>\u00a0or wax paper lined tray. Repeat until all the eggs are dipped. With any leftover chocolate you have, you can drizzle some over the tops of each coconut egg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Use extra powdered sugar<\/strong>\u00a0to aid in the rolling of the candy filling.\u00a0 If you find the mixture sticking to your cookie cutter, you can coat it in sugar as well.<\/p>\n Prepare for the candy dipping<\/strong>. I like having a parchment<\/a>\u2013 lined baking sheet<\/a> ready to go when I am dipping my coconut eggs into the chocolate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Toppings nearby<\/strong>.\u00a0 If you would like to add toasted coconut, sprinkles, chopped nuts or flaky sea salt to the tops of the finished candies, do it immediately after covering in chocolate so they will stick.\u00a0 If using extra melted chocolate to drizzle over the tops of the eggs, you can do that after the chocolate has set.<\/p>\n![\"pile](\"https:\/\/bakingamoment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/coconut-eggs-the-best-homemade-recipe-720x720.jpg)
