Print Recipe

Easter Bunny Coconut Tails are charming, bite-sized treats combining chewy shredded coconut with sweet, creamy condensed milk and vanilla, shaped into adorable bunny tails perfect for festive Easter celebrations and family fun.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened, based on preference)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Optional Ingredients

  • White chocolate or candy melts (for dipping or drizzling)
  • Mini marshmallows or candy pieces (for bunny tail decoration)

Instructions

  1. Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the coconut is fully coated and sticky enough to hold its shape.
  2. Form the Bunny Tails: Using your hands, scoop small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized oval shapes that resemble little fluffy tails. If desired, press a mini marshmallow or candy piece onto one side to mimic the bunny’s cotton tail.
  3. Chill to Set: Place the formed coconut tails on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least one hour. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle and serve.
  4. Optional Chocolate Dip: If desired, melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, then dip the ears or bottoms of the coconut tails into the chocolate. Place them back on parchment paper to set.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: Dust the coconut tails lightly with powdered sugar or add sprinkles to make them extra festive. Let any chocolate coatings fully harden before serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded coconut if possible for best texture and flavor, but packaged coconut works well too.
  • Keep hands slightly moist before shaping to prevent sticking.
  • Do not skip chilling; it helps the tails hold their shape.
  • Create various sizes from bite-sized to larger sharing portions.
  • Store in an airtight container to retain freshness and chewiness.
