Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the shredded coconut onto a baking sheet for toasting. Place in oven for 5-10 minutes, until coconut is a light golden brown color. Make sure to stay in the kitchen watch the coconut, as it can easily go from toasted to burnt. Alternately, you can toast the coconut in a pan on the stove-top.
- Let toasted coconut cool on baking sheet while melting chocolate. Add chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-30 second increments until the chocolate is melted. Add cooled coconut and melted chocolate into a large bowl and toss to combine. Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to scoop about 2-3 Tablespoons of the coconut chocolate mixture onto a piece of parchment and shape into a nest. Top each nest with 2-3 eggs. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Let nests set at room temperature or place in the fridge or freezer to speed up the process. Store leftover nests in an airtight container at room temp for 4-5 days or in the fridge for longer storage. If you store them in the fridge, let sit for about 5-10 minutes before eating.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Coat mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, stir together whites and salt with a fork; mix in coconut. Drop 2 tablespoons of mixture into each prepared tin.
- Lightly press mixture into bottom and up sides of each cup. Bake until light golden on top, 28 to 30 minutes.
- Let cool in tins on a wire rack 10 minutes, then run a thin metal spatula around sides to loosen. Lift out of cups; let cool completely.
Tips:
- Use fresh coconut for the best flavor. Freshly grated coconut has a more intense flavor and aroma than store-bought shredded coconut.
- If you don't have fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut. Just be sure to toast it in the oven for a few minutes to bring out its flavor.
- If you don't have coconut extract, you can use vanilla extract instead. However, coconut extract will give the cookies a more authentic flavor.
- Be careful not to over-beat the egg whites. Over-beaten egg whites will make the cookies tough.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Over-baked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
These coconut egg nests are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a holiday party. With their delicate coconut flavor and crispy meringue topping, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these coconut egg nests a try.
