Easter Bunny Coconut Tails are a fun, no-bake Easter treat made out of sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, almond and vanilla extract, and of course, coconut! Hand dye the coconut flakes in pastel shades for a perfect spring treat!
Start by mixing sweetened condensed milk, melted salted butter, vanilla, almond extract, and powdered sugar in your big bowl. Stir until everything’s smooth and cozy together.
Gradually add 4 cups of those coconut flakes, stirring well to get a sticky but workable mix. You feel it holding just right when it sticks but doesn’t fall apart.
Divide that mixture into small chunks, and shape each one like a bunny tail. Don’t worry about being perfect, it’s all about the fun shapes.
Roll each tail in the remaining 2 cups of coconut flakes, making sure they’re coated on all sides. This keeps them pretty and less sticky to touch.
If you wanna add some color, dip a toothpick into liquid food coloring and dot your bunny tails with cute little spots. It’s subtle but sweet!
Put the bunny tails on a parchment-lined tray and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This chill step is super key to help them firm up so they hold better when you serve.
Notes
Chill the mixture for at least 15 minutes for easier handling. Use liquid food coloring for the best results.
