Ingredients

  • 1 cake mix we used carrot, because Easter
  • 1 cream cheese frosting
  • 3 6 packs Reese’s Eggs
  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • About 25 drops green food coloring
  • Jelly beans we used Nerds jelly beans
  • Butter

Instructions

  • Before doing anything, place your Reese’s Eggs in the freezer.
  • Next, using a round cake pan, bake cake according to directions on box.
  • While the cake is baking, place your coconut and food coloring in a bowl and mix.
  • It will take a few minutes of flipping and mixing the coconut for the food coloring to spread throughout. I suggest doing a few drops at a time.
  • Once the cake is baked, pull it from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • Once the cake is cool to the touch, remove it from the pan and place it on a cake stand or whatever you choose to serve it from. Be sure the flat side of the cake is down.
  • Frost the entire cake all the way down the sides.
  • Once frosted, pull your chocolate from the freezer and begin un-packaging them. One at a time, with the pointy side facing up, place the eggs against the side of the cake. If the frosting doesn’t hold them firmly, add a bit of extra frosting to the back of the egg and reapply.
  • Once your eggs are fully on, fill the middle of the cake with your green coconut and the jelly beans!
