Ingredient & Equipment Links
Instructions
- Using a mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy.
- Add Sweetener and coconut until well blended. Taste the mix to achieve the desired sweetness. You can refrigerate a few minutes so the mixture is easier to work with.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
- Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to mold the mixture into an egg shape.
- Place each egg on the baking sheet.
- Place the coconut eggs in the refrigerator for a few hours so the eggs are firm enough to dip into the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil. I use a glass bowl in the microwave for 30 sec at a time, stirring until I reach the desired texture. You can also use a double broiler stirring over low heat until the chocolate is melted.
