These are SO adorable! And for something different, try tinting white chocolate with a few drops of food colouring, to add a touch of colour.

Ingredients

200g White Choc Melts (1¼ cups)

6 x 55g cinnamon doughnuts

½ cup shredded coconut

100g bag speckled Easter eggs

Method

  1. Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Sit bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove. Cool slightly. 

  2. Working with one doughnut at a time, dip the top into chocolate to come halfway up the side, allowing excess to drip away. Place doughnuts on a tray, chocolate-side up. Sprinkle with some of the coconut. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until set. 

  3. To serve, arrange doughnuts on a cake stand. Fill the centre with Easter eggs. 

     

    TIP! Speckled Easter eggs are available from Coles supermarkets. Try tinting white chocolate with a few drops of food colouring, to add a touch of colour. White Choc Melts can be replaced with the dark or milk variety.
