Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

  • 27 mini eggs or jelly beans

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Coat a mini muffin tin VERY WELL with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and salt until well combined. Add the coconut and mix with a fork until the coconut is evenly coated. 
  3. Drop 2 tablespoons of the coconut mixture into each mini muffin cup. Lightly press with your thumb in the center to form a nest. 
  4. Bake in the oven for 28-30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  5. Carefully run a spatula or knife around the edges of the muffin cups to loosen the nests. Gently lift out the nests and allow them to cool completely. 
  6. Cook the white chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds; remove and stir. Cook in 10-second increments until melted. Set aside to cool a bit. Spoon into a zip lock bag and snip a small portion of one bottom corner.
  7. Drizzle some white chocolate into each nest, then place three eggs or jelly beans on top. Serve and enjoy!
  8. Store in an airtight container.
