Step 2: Make the Coconut Filling
In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and butter until they are well blended.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture. Continue mixing until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Next, fold in the shredded coconut using a mixing spoon. Make sure the coconut is evenly incorporated into the mixture.
Once your coconut filling is ready, refrigerate it for about 1 hour. Chilling the mixture will make it easier to handle in the next steps.
Step 3: Shape the Coconut Eggs
Dust your hands with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Take small portions of the coconut mixture and mold them into egg shapes. Place the shaped eggs on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
After shaping all the coconut mixture into eggs, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about an hour. This will firm up the eggs and make them easier to coat with chocolate.
Step 4: Coat with Chocolate
While the coconut eggs are chilling, melt the melting chocolate chips according to the package instructions. Most often, microwaving in short intervals and stirring in between works well.
Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, take the coconut eggs out of the freezer.
Using a fork, carefully dip each coconut egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Use a second fork to gently transfer the chocolate-coated egg back onto the parchment paper.
Step 5: Set the Chocolate Coating
Refrigerate the chocolate-coated coconut eggs for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. This will give the eggs a satisfying crunch when you bite into them.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
