Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 3/4 cup coconut milk, 2 tbsp sugar, and 2 tsp brown sugar.
- Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugars are fully dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, resembling a caramel sauce. This process should take about 10–15 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the caramel cool to room temperature.
- While the caramel is cooling, melt the 3/4 cup dairy-free white chocolate. You can do this by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving it in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Once melted, fold in the 2 tbsp dried coconut meat to the white chocolate and mix well.
- Gently fold the cooled caramel sauce into the melted white chocolate and coconut mixture until fully combined.
- Prepare a silicone egg mold or plastic egg-shaped molds if you have them. If not, you can shape the mixture by hand.
- Pour or spoon the coconut caramel chocolate mixture into the molds, smoothing the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- If shaping by hand, form small egg shapes and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the molds or the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the coconut caramel eggs are fully set and firm.
- Once set, carefully remove the eggs from the molds. If you shaped them by hand, they should be easy to pick up from the parchment paper.
- Keep the coconut caramel eggs stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
