Use a spoon to scoop out small portions of the mixture and form them into nests on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Create a small indentation in the center of each nest to hold the eggs.

Chill the nests in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until set.

Once set, place mini chocolate eggs in the center of each nest.

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
