Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 c cold mashed potatoes,mash only with a bit of milk to make creamier,
4 c confectioners sugar
4 c shredded coconut, i prefer the sweetened angel flake
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
4 oz unsweetened or sweetened chocolate, i prefer using milk chocolate

Steps:

  • 1. Combine mashed potatoes and sugar, add coconut,vanilla and salt and blend well.
  • 2. Refrigerate until mixture is workable in hands.

  • 4. Melt chocolate and dip eggs in chocolate to cover. I use a metal dipper from the egg dying kits. (Yep I saved them) Allow chocolate to drip off and then set eggs back on tray to dry completely.
  • 5. Once chocolate has hardened decorate with white chocolate drizzle if desired.

I had some trouble finding coconut cream, but I was able to use canned coconut milk instead. The Easter eggs still turned out great!
