Servings: 15 cookies
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut extra, for coating
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 3 ounces white chocolate melts melted
- 45 mini eggs
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place the extra cup of shredded coconut for coating on a wide plate or bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining shredded coconut with the sweetened condensed milk, and the melted white chocolate. Stir to combine, until you have a sticky dough.
- Use a cookie scoop, or your hands to scoop out 1 tablespoon portions from the dough. Roll each portion between your palms to form a smooth, round ball.
- Roll each ball in the reserved shredded coconut to fully coat for a textured, nest like appearance. Place each ball on the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Use the back of a teaspoon to gently press an indent into the middle of each ball to create the appearance of a nest. You may need to gently re-form the edges if they separate. Place three mini eggs in the centre of each nest and gently press them into the mixture to secure them in place.
- Place the birds nest cookies on the tray in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
- Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
