Easter Bunny Coconut Tails

Hop into the Easter spirit with our Easter bunny coconut tails recipe. These white chocolate and coconut treats are easy to make and utterly delicious. They’re perfect for any Easter celebration or to give as gifts. Get the kids involved in making this recipe, from mixing the ingredients to rolling out each little bunny tail and coating them in coconut.

Ingredients

150 g Cream cheese
300 g Icing sugar
100 g White chocolate (To melt)
1 tsp Vanilla essence
200 g Coconut flakes
200 g White chocolate (Finely chopped)

Instructions

Step 1

  • Melt your white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a deep pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.

Step 2

  • Beat your cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until fluffy, then stir in the vanilla extract and your melted white chocolate.

Step 3

  • Once combined, add the icing sugar, half the coconut and half the finely chopped white chocolate, stirring together to make a mouldable dough. If the dough isn't firm enough to mould, try adding more icing sugar! Once done, pop the bowl in the fridge for 1 hour.

Step 4

  • Once your dough's nice and firm, divide it into 24 little sections, rolling these into small balls. Then spread the remaining desiccated coconut and white chocolate onto a large, flat tray and roll each ball in it until coated.

Step 5

  • Set your fluffy tails in the fridge for 1-2 hours on a lined tray. Then, either enjoy all to yourself or wrap in a box lined with parchment paper for the perfect gift this Easter!

An Easter treat

Easter means eggs, of course, but these fluffy bunny tails bring a different dimension to the celebration. They not only taste delicious and look fantastic, but they’re also a great opportunity to get the kids involved in some easy baking. Little helpers can join in by stirring the mixture, spreading out the coconut for dusting, and rolling each bunny tail into shape.

Add some colour to your bunny tails

If you want to create more colourful fluffy bunny tails, try adding some liquid food colouring to the desiccated coconut before rolling. You can create a soft pastel colour palette that fits perfectly with the Easter aesthetic, adding a fun and cheerful pop to your table. Or let the kids choose their favourite colours to personalise their bunny tails and make the activity even more fun.

How to store your fluffy bunny tails

Store any leftover bunny tails in a sealed container in the fridge. They’ll keep well for a couple of days – if they last that long!
