Ingredients
½cupcoconut butter or manna
⅛cupmaple syrup or honey
1 ½cupshredded sweetened coconut
1cupdark chocolate chips
Instructions
In a bowl, melt the coconut butter and sweeter together. You can just melt them in the microwave. When you remove it from the microwave, mix well so that you have a creamy mixture
Add the shredded coconut to this mixture
Here you can now shape the coconut mixture into egg like shapes and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
After shaping all the eggs, refrigerate the mixture for at least 3 hours to harden
After the 3 hours, melt your chocolate chips in a bowl
Remove the coconut eggs from the fridge and dip into the chocolate, flipping with a form to coat both sides evenly
Place back in the fridge for 3 hours until chocolate has hardened
Enjoy!
Notes
I used sweetened coconut for this recipe to offset the bitter 70% dark chocolate that I used in this recipe. If you are using sweeter chocolate, I suggest using unsweetened coconut
If you do not have maple syrup available you can also use honey
I drizzled some butterscotch ganache on top of these easter eggs for flavour and to give them colour
