    Coconut cream eggs are my favorite! I never have shortening, so I was wondering if I could substitute butter?

    Help! The coconut cream never solidified. Even after being in the freezer overnight they were still soft. I went ahead and dipped them in the melted chocolate chip and shortening and the chocolate hardened, but the moment you touched the eggs the chocolate melted on your fingers. I couldn’t serve them in such a state and ended up tossing the batch. What went wrong, what is the trick to getting the cream to solidify and the chocolate to not immediately melt on your fingers?

      Hi Karen, You need to follow the quantity precisely to make sure it’s not too dry or too soft so the coconut cream eggs don’t fall apart when you dip them in the chocolate. If it’s too soft, add more shredded coconut, little by little, until it reaches the right consistency. Hope this helps!

    So I made these last Easter and just made them again. This time I made them ball shaped. I made the mistake of putting the chocolate balls on a rack over a waxed papered cookie sheet. When I went to put them in a tin they were stuck to the wrap and I pulled a hunk off the bottom. Didn’t affect the flavour! They are sweet but delicious!!

    I made these last year and they were delicious. Everyone loved them. I was wondering if I could make them in advance this year and freeze them? Would you recommend that, or no?!

    Once you make these do they need to remain the the refrigerator? I wanted to give them as gifts this year but unsure if they need to remain in the fridge once I give them. Thanks!!

    • Yummiest Food says

      No, they do not remain in the refrigerator all the time.

    So glad I came across this recipe, just in time for Easter. This is my first attempt at coconut eggs since my favorite candy shop closed. Kids love them. Does this have a video? They came out great except not as smooth looking, and chocolate did not smooth over nicely. I used chocolate wafers. Should I have tried to smooth and round them before freezing Thanks! Taste is delicious!

FAQs

Can I mix coconut milk with egg? ›

Whisk the eggs in a bowl, along with the coconut milk and coconut, then season. Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a pan, then pour the egg mix. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring slowly with a spatula, making sure the eggs are cooked but still creamy. Serve immediately.

Can you substitute coconut milk for eggs? ›

Plant-based milk

Of course, milk is quite runny so if the egg is mainly to hold things together, it won't work. But if it's for moisture rather than binding then in many recipes, you can replace eggs with an equal amount of your preferred plant-based milk, be it almond, soy, oat, or coconut.

When not to use coconut milk? ›

For example, if consuming products that are low in fat is a priority, coconut milk may not be your best choice due to its high fat content, which contributes most of the calories of coconut milk. In addition, regarding protein content, cow's milk and soy milk have more protein than coconut milk and almond milk.

What does adding coconut milk do? ›

Coconut milk may benefit health in several ways, such as by stimulating weight loss and lowering cholesterol. It can also add flavor to sweet and savory dishes and serve as an alternative to dairy milk. Coconut water is the liquid inside a coconut, while coconut milk comes from the fruit's white flesh.

Why is coconut milk not a good dairy substitute? ›

Coconut milk: Made from the grated meat of coconuts, it's naturally sweet and has about half as many calories as whole milk, but has little protein (0.5 grams per cup), and has 5 grams of saturated fats — about the same amount as whole milk — with no healthy unsaturated fat.

Can you use coconut cream as an egg substitute? ›

It adds plenty of moisture and a rich, creaminess to things like cakes or quick breads. Beyond that, it can also be used as an egg wash, according to Council. If you're looking to make it dairy-free, you can use full-fat coconut cream instead.

Can I just use milk instead of coconut milk? ›

If you prefer to go the coconut-free route (or if you don't have coconut shreds, cream, oil, water, or butter on hand), you can use plain old milk — whichever kind you prefer. Whatever you're making won't have the same flavor as it would with coconut, which may make things like curries taste a little flat.

Can I eat egg and coconut together? ›

Yes, you can consume coconut water and eggs together as part of your diet. There are no known negative interactions between these two foods, and they can be enjoyed together as part of a balanced meal or snack.

Is it OK to mix milk with eggs? ›

Wait a moment and try again. Can I eat boiled eggs and drink milk together? Yes, you can certainly eat boiled eggs and drink milk together. Both of these foods are rich in essential nutrients that your body needs, such as protein, calcium, and vitamins.

Is it good to mix egg with milk? ›

Firstly, it is important to note that there is no scientific evidence to suggest that consuming milk and eggs together is harmful to health. In fact, both milk and eggs are excellent sources of nutrients, including protein, calcium, and vitamin D, which are essential for overall health and well-being.

Can I add milk to my egg? ›

How much milk do you put in scrambled eggs? Adding milk or plain water to scrambled eggs is an optional step that affects the texture of your finished dish. For creamy scrambled eggs, you'll add up to 1 tablespoon of milk for every egg. For fluffy scrambled eggs, you'll add up to 1 tablespoon of water for every egg.
