CAROL'S COCONUT CREAM EASTER EGGS



Carol's Coconut Cream Easter Eggs image

I don't remember where I got the original recipe, but over the years I've "tweaked" it a few times and now it is just the way I like it. These eggs are very sweet, so don't eat too many! They can be covered with dark, milk, white or semisweet chocolate. My family prefers the semisweet. This recipe makes quite a few eggs, but they can be frozen. I usually add about 1 Tbl. of shortening to each 12 oz. bags of chips when melting. It tends to loosen it up a bit. I like to keep these refrigerated because I love them very cold. Serving size and cook time is approx. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
  • Make sure to chill the Easter eggs for at least 2 hours before serving, so that the coconut cream filling has time to set.
