Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Only 3 ingredients and ready in 30 minutes.
- A fun school holiday activity.
Recipe Ingredients
Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
- Chocolate - use chocolate melts, as they are designed to melt smoothly.
- 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 melts to the Thermomix bowl.
- Grate for 10 sec/speed 9.
- Melt for 2 min/50℃/speed 2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl then melt again for 2 min/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.
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.
📖 Recipe
Thermomix Chocolate Easter Egg Nests
An easy, kid-friendly Easter recipe made with just 3-ingredients.
Ingredients
- 250 g milk or dark chocolate melts
- 150 g shredded coconut
- 1 packet mini eggs, such as Cadburys or Darrell Lea
Instructions
- Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases.
- Add the chocolate melts to the Thermomix bowl. Grate for 10 sec/speed 9.
- Scrape down the bowl and melt the chocolate for 2 min/50℃/speed 2 with the measuring cup off. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and melt again for 2 min/50℃/speed 2 until the chocolate is fully melted (with the measuring cup off).
- Add the shredded coconut to the Thermomix bowl and mix for 20 sec/reverse/speed 2 until the coconut is fully coated in 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 teaspoon 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 transfer them to the fridge to set for 20 minutes.
Notes
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 to soften before serving. They will last for a week in the fridge.
