Perfectly shaped and decorated to evoke the joyful spirit of Easter, these bite-sized coconut goodies are simple to make, customizable, and ideal for sharing during holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Coating and Decoration

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • Food coloring (optional, for decorating)
  • Mini candy pieces or edible eyes (for decorating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coconut Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut with condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the coconut is fully coated and the mixture is thick and sticky, forming a perfect base to shape the tails.
  2. Shape the Tails: Using your hands or a small spoon, form the coconut mixture into small, tapered oval shapes resembling bunny tails. Place the shaped tails on parchment-lined trays to prevent sticking.
  3. Chill the Coconut Tails: Refrigerate the shaped tails for about 30 minutes to firm them up, making decorating and handling easier.
  4. Coat or Decorate: Melt white chocolate chips or melting wafers using a microwave or double boiler. Dip each coconut tail halfway or drizzle chocolate over them, then immediately add mini candy pieces or edible eyes while the coating is still wet for a fun festive touch.
  5. Final Chill and Serve: Return the decorated coconut tails to the fridge to allow the chocolate to fully set. Once set, serve and enjoy these delightful Easter treats.

Notes

  • Choose freshly shredded coconut for the best flavor and texture.
  • Wet or chill your hands before shaping to prevent sticking.
  • Use a light chocolate coating to enhance without overpowering the coconut flavor.
  • Prepare decorations in advance for smooth and easy decorating.
  • Store the coconut tails refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness and texture.
