    Coconut cream eggs are my favorite! I never have shortening, so I was wondering if I could substitute butter?

    Help! The coconut cream never solidified. Even after being in the freezer overnight they were still soft. I went ahead and dipped them in the melted chocolate chip and shortening and the chocolate hardened, but the moment you touched the eggs the chocolate melted on your fingers. I couldn’t serve them in such a state and ended up tossing the batch. What went wrong, what is the trick to getting the cream to solidify and the chocolate to not immediately melt on your fingers?

      Hi Karen, You need to follow the quantity precisely to make sure it’s not too dry or too soft so the coconut cream eggs don’t fall apart when you dip them in the chocolate. If it’s too soft, add more shredded coconut, little by little, until it reaches the right consistency. Hope this helps!

    So I made these last Easter and just made them again. This time I made them ball shaped. I made the mistake of putting the chocolate balls on a rack over a waxed papered cookie sheet. When I went to put them in a tin they were stuck to the wrap and I pulled a hunk off the bottom. Didn’t affect the flavour! They are sweet but delicious!!

    I made these last year and they were delicious. Everyone loved them. I was wondering if I could make them in advance this year and freeze them? Would you recommend that, or no?!

    Once you make these do they need to remain the the refrigerator? I wanted to give them as gifts this year but unsure if they need to remain in the fridge once I give them. Thanks!!

      No, they do not remain in the refrigerator all the time.

    Do these need to be refrigerated because they contain cream cheese?

    So glad I came across this recipe, just in time for Easter. This is my first attempt at coconut eggs since my favorite candy shop closed. Kids love them. Does this have a video? They came out great except not as smooth looking, and chocolate did not smooth over nicely. I used chocolate wafers. Should I have tried to smooth and round them before freezing Thanks! Taste is delicious!
