Instructions
- Add coconut, almond meal, condensed milk and essence to a bowl and stir to combine.
- Remove about ⅓ cup of this mixture. Add yellow food colouring and stir until mixture is an even yellow colour.
- Separate un-coloured mixture into 18 pieces (about 1 tablespoon per piece). Do the same with the yellow mixture (about one teaspoon per piece) and roll into balls.
- Roll each un-coloured piece into a ball and then press your thumb into the centre and flatten into a cup shape. Insert one yellow ball of mixture and then close the un-coloured mixture around it and form into an egg shape.
- Place your eggs into the fridge for at least half an hour.
- Melt chocolate using 20 second bursts in the microwave or in a bowl over a simmering pot of water.
- Remove eggs from the fridge and dip each egg into the melted chocolate to coat the entire egg. Allow excess chocolate to drip from the egg before placing onto a tray covered with baking paper.
- Decorate each egg with sprinkles and sugar flowers and then place back in the fridge to set.
