1

Beat the cream cheese and butter until soft in a medium bowl with the help of a hand mixer.
2

Add the sugar and coconut, and then beat until everything is well combined. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hour.
3

Cover your hands in powdered sugar and take a portion (the size that you want the eggs) of the coconut mixture and shape them into eggs. Place them on a baking dish covered in wax paper. Freeze for 2 hours.
4

Mix the chocolate and oil in a medium bowl that is microwavable. Place in the microwave for 30 seconds, remove, mix with a spatula and repeat the process until it’s completely melted.
5

Remove the eggs from the refrigerator, submerge each in the chocolate mixture until they're completely covered. Place them back on the wax paper, refrigerate until they've hardened, about 5 minutes. If you would like to decorate them, drizzle them in different colored confectionery coating.
6

Refrigerate them until you’re ready to serve.
