    Ingredients

    • 1 cup desiccated coconut
    • 1/3 cup So Good™ Almond Milk Unsweetened
    • 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
    • 2 tbs maple syrup
    • pinch sea salt
    • 1–2 tsp coconut flour, optional
    For coating
    • 100g 70% dark chocolate
    • 1 tsp coconut oil

    Method

    1. Step 1

      In the jug of a blender or small food processor, combine coconut, So Good Almond Milk, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt. Pulse for 30 seconds, then set aside for 5 minutes so the coconut starts to absorb the liquid, and the filling firms up a bit.

    2. Step 2

      Filling mixture will be soft but should hold shape – if it’s too runny stir through coconut flour and rest another minute. Scoop scant-tablespoons of filling onto to a baking paper lined tray. Use clean hands to roll into balls or egg-shapes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

    3. Step 3

      While the filling chills, melt chocolate and additional coconut oil in a small, deep bowl.

    4. Step 4

      Using a fork, dip one coconut egg at a time into the bowl, spoon over the melted chocolate, then tap fork on side of bowl to allow excess to drip back in.

    5. Step 5

      Slide chocolate-coated eggs back onto the lined tray and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Tips

    • If desired, drizzle coated eggs with a bit of extra chocolate and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of coconut.
    • For coloured eggs, divide coconut filling into small bowls and stir through a few drops of natural food colouring, before scooping and rolling.
    • Filling must be shaped before being refrigerated, as it will crumble if rolled when cold.
    • Most 70% dark chocolate is dairy-free and vegan, but make sure to check your preferred brand for dietary concerns.
