How to Make Thermomix Chocolate Easter Egg Nests
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.
Top Tips
- I’ve used milk chocolate for this recipe, but you could use dark or white chocolate.
- Shredded coconut is best instead of desiccated coconut as it looks more like a nest and will hold together better.
- Cupcake cases make life so much easier.
- Allow the nests to sit in the fridge for 20 minutes to set.
- Place the mini eggs into the nest as soon as possible so they stick whilst the chocolate is still warm.
- 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 refrigerator. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving, as this makes them easier to bite into.

- 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.
