Easter coconut nests recipe
With any run-up to Easter, I get such a buzz to bake, bake, bake! I love doing it and the kids certainly love the extra treats! This time I’ve baked a very simple and very cute batch of Easter coconut nests with a Nutella centre and of course…some delicious Cadbury mini eggs to round off that nest-like-look!
Ingredients:
Directions:
With a tablespoon, scoop up 2 tsp of the coconut mixture and place it onto the greaseproof paper. Form into the shape of a birds nest then press down the centre of each with your thumb.
Next, you want to bake your bird’s nests for 15-20 mins or until slightly golden brown. As you can see by my photo, I got a little distracted and left them in for a few minutes longer. Accident! The joys of baking with a toddler! and…not forgetting the joys of a crazy house! Easy distractions!
Get yourself a spoon and place a tablespoon of Nutella into the centre of the bird’s nest. Lastly, place three mini eggs into the centre to finish off your Easter Coconut nests! Aren’t they cute?
The Nutella is this recipe is just a delicious addition! The kids really enjoyed these {as did I!} If you liked this Easter coconut nests recipe, then you might like to check out my free Easter coupon printables blog post. They’re perfect for your Easter egg hunts!

I used to eat coconut macaroons loads as a child and haven’t had them for about 30 years. I hadn’t ever considered making them myself and they seem terribly easy! 🙂
