- Only 3 ingredients and ready in 20 minutes.
- A fun school holiday activity.
Recipe Ingredients
Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
- Chocolate - use either milk, dark or a mix of both.
- Shredded coconut - don't use desiccated coconut, as the nests won't hold together well.
- Mini eggs - Cadbury mini eggs are ideal size, but I could only find Darrell Lea ones for this batch. They're slightly bigger but still work well.
Step-by-Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
- Add the chocolate to the Thermomix bowl.
- Grate for 10 sec/speed 9.
- Melt for 2 mins/50℃/speed 2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl then melt again for 2 mins/50℃/speed 2.
- Add the shredded coconut to the bowl.
- Mix to combine.
- Transfer to paper cases and insert the eggs.
Easter Egg Nest Tips
- Place the mini eggs into the nest as soon as possible so they stick whilst the chocolate is still warm.
- Allow the nests to sit in the fridge for 20 minutes to set.
- Try not to eat the mixture before it reaches the cupcake cases! (I am very guilty of this).
Storage
If you live in a warmer climate, it's best to store the nests in the fridge. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving, as this makes them easier to bite into. They will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

Thermomix Easter Egg Nests
An easy, kid-friendly Easter recipe made with just 3-ingredients.
Ingredients
- 250g milk or dark chocolate
- 150g shredded coconut
- 1 packet mini eggs, such as Cadburys or Darrell Lea
Instructions
- Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases.
- Break the chocolate into pieces, then place it in the Thermomix bowl. Grate for 10 sec/speed 9.
- Scrape down the bowl and melt the chocolate for 2 mins/50°C/speed 2 with the measuring cap off. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and melt again for 2 mins/50°C/speed 2 until the chocolate is fully melted (with the measuring cap off).
- Add the shredded coconut to the Thermomix bowl and mix for 20 sec/reverse/speed 2 until the coconut is fully coated with the chocolate.
- To create the nests, spoon a tablespoon of the mixture into each case and press down in the middle with your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a space for the eggs to sit.
- Quickly insert 3 eggs into each nest, so they stick while the chocolate is still warm, then set them in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Notes
Storage
