These delightful Easter egg-shaped treats combine the rich flavors of chocolate and coconut, creating a sweet and chewy texture that is perfect for celebrating the holiday. Each egg is filled with a creamy coconut center, coated in a luscious dark chocolate shell, making them a festive and appealing dessert. They are also gluten-free and can be made dairy-free, catering to various dietary needs.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the mixture into small egg shapes (about 1 inch long) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Freeze the coconut eggs for about 30 minutes or until firm.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
5. Remove the coconut eggs from the freezer. Dip each egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated. Return to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Once all eggs are coated, refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
