"Easter is the only time of year when it is safe to put all your eggs in one basket ๐
*
I took Ina Garten's Coconut Macaroon recipe and turned it into an adorable birds nest complete with Nutella filling and Cadbury Easter Eggs.
Easter is about 2 1/2 weeks away! Having so much fun planning the menu and the Easter treats!"

- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 extra large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Chocolate hazelnut spread
- Mini Cadbury eggs
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325ยบF.
Step 2
Combine the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whip the egg whites and salt on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer until they make medium-firm peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.
Step 3
Drop the batter into 2โ balls onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Shape each mound into a little nest shape with a little crevice in the center. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until just golden.
Step 4
When they come out of oven press your finger to pat down the center a bit more. Add a tablespoon of Nutella (or melted chocolate chips) into each crevice and press 3 Cadbury mini eggs into the chocolate.
