Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 9 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
  • 3 egg whites room temperature
  • 2 TBSP powdered coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, or hand whisk, beat the egg whites together until soft peaks form. Slowly add in the coconut sugar and continue to beat until firm peaks form. (When spooning out the batter it will stand up on its own, if it falls back in its not stiff enough yet)

  2. When the stiff peaks form, add in your vanilla and sea salt and whisk to combine.

  3. Gently fold in the coconut flakes until everything is well incorporated carefully not to deflate the egg whites.

  4. Spoon batter into 9 greased muffin liners. After spooning the batter in, use your fingers or spoon to create the nest part. Just make a little well in the center of each nest.

  5. Bake in a 300 degree oven for about 15 minutes until the nests are set and lightly golden brown.

  6. When they come out of the over, run a knife around them to loosen the edges and then take them out and put them on a cooling rack.

  7. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave in 30 second increments until melted. Spoon about 1 tsp of the melted chocolate into each cup and top with robins eggs or more shredded coconut. Let the chocolate harden and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*I love EnjoyLife Chocolate Chips as they are paleo and vegan!
