Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Beat together cream cheese, margarine, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Add confectioners' sugar in batches, beating well after each addition. Dough will be very stiff.
Step 2
Divide dough equally into 2 bowls. Stir peanut butter into one bowl and coconut into the other until incorporated.
Step 3
Using your hands, mold dough into egg shapes and arrange them on cookie sheets. Place molded eggs in the freezer until frozen, 1 to 2 hours.
Step 4
Melt together chocolate chips and shortening on top of a double boiler until smooth. Allow to cool slightly at room temperature.
Step 5
Dip frozen eggs into melted chocolate mixture until completely coated. Place dipped eggs on wax paper-lined cookie sheets and return to the freezer to harden. Store eggs in the refrigerator.
