Step-by-step

  • In a medium bowl, combine coconut butter, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, dish out scoops of the coconut mixture. Roll into a ball between your palms and form into an egg shape that's somewhat flattened (with formed sides).
  • Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and repeat until all mixture is used.
  • Freeze for about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt your chocolate. Combine chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a medium bowl.
  • Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring very well between each burst. When chocolate is nearly melted but not quite, start microwaving in 15-second bursts; do not overmicrowave. Alternately, you can melt your chocolate in a double boiler.
  • If you find the mixture is too thick with either method, add an extra tablespoon of coconut oil in and stir well.
  • Remove eggs from freezer. Place a wire cooling rack over a cookie sheet.
  • Dip eggs, one by one, in chocolate, flipping until well coated.
  • Remove with a fork and use another fork to slide egg off onto wire rack.
  • Repeat until all eggs are coated.
  • Sprinkle with coconut flakes, if desired, or drizzle extra chocolate on top.
  • To drizzle, transfer remaining chocolate mixture into a small plastic sandwich bag. Snip off the corner and gently drizzle mixture over egg surfaces.
  • Freeze about 10 minutes to harden then serve.
  • Can be kept at room temperature.
