Ingredients
  

Chocolate Coconut Bird Nests

  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 3/4 cup vegan dark chocolate chips

White Chocolate Eggs

  • 1 1/2 cups vegan white chocolate (for front of eggs) melted
  • 1/2 cup vegan white chocolate (for bottom of eggs) melted
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Cookie Dough Filling

  • 1/2 can chickpeas (125 grams)  drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup cups rolled or quick oats

Instructions
 

Chocolate Coconut Bird Nests

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the shredded coconut onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place in oven for 3-5 minutes until light golden brown. (Watch carefully as coconut can burn easily).
  • Add dark chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-30 second increments until the chocolate is melted. 
  • Mix coconut and chocolate together in a bowl.
  • Divide mixture into a non-stick muffin pan, pressing the middle in to form nests.
  • Place nests in the freezer to set for 30 minutes.

White Chocolate Eggs

  • Add 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 10-20 second increments until the chocolate is melted. (White chocolate burns easily so be careful to melt in short increments).
  • Pour melted white chocolate into Easter Egg moulds, leaving the centres hollow for the filling. Place moulds in the freezer to set for 30 minutes.

Cookie Dough Filling

  • Add all cookie dough to a food processor (or blend with a hand blender) until smooth. 

Assembling the White Chocolate Eggs & Nests

  • Once white chocolate egg moulds are set, remove from freezer and add a scoop of cookie dough to each egg, pressing it in.
  • Pour a thin layer of white chocolate over each egg to form the flat bottoms. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Once set, carefully remove nests from the muffin pan.
  • Once eggs are set remove from the mould and place into nests.
