These cute, easy to make, coconut cream cheese truffles are adorable for Easter. With just four ingredients they are simple enough to be a fun project to do with the kids!

coconut cream cheese truffles look like cute little bunny tails!

I can’t believe a month has gone by already and I get to share another post here! Hi, I’m Marye from Restless Chipotle back again with an adorable treat I found on Pinterest from Pizzazzerie. These coconut cream cheese truffles look just like soft bunny tails so they are really a cute addition to your table for Easter or Spring brunch.

coconut cream cheese truffles are easy enough to make to be a family project.

I live in a house that is over 100 years old. It has that cute cottage look, or it will have someday. Right now it does have a ways to go, but we’re adding flowers and rose bushes, and flagstone pathways. Inside I like to use pretty vintage plates, too. With a big family and a busy life I know I need to be practical, but I try to slip some sweet cottage romance into it where I can. Spring is perfect for that and let me tell you, after all of the snow we had in the beginning of March, I am ready to see green grass and pretty flowers.

And cute treats.

coconut cream cheese truffles can be colored or dipped in chocolate, too. Cute Easter treats.

There are only four ingredients in these — confectioner’s sugar, cream cheese, vanilla, and coconut. I did want to try a few different things, so I colored some of the coconut pink with food color and I dipped some of the truffles in chocolate before rolling in the coconut.

I found that freezing the cream cheese balls before covering them with chocolate makes it much easier. I guess you can’t really call the chocolate ones bunny tails… maybe muddy bunny tails?

My dad had a crazy sense of humor and he went out of his way to make sure that I had proof that Santa, the Easter Bunny, and other creatures really exist. Wet, snowy boot tracks on the floor by the Christmas tree, feathers from the Tooth Fairy’s wings that fell off while she was molting (yes, seriously molting), and the piece de resistance — rabbit poop by my Easter basket. He’d then get angry at the messy Easter Bunny while he cleaned up the mess.

It’s a wonder I don’t need therapy. On the other hand, I do still believe in all kinds of kid stuff so I guess his method worked. I guess the point is that it’s the little things that stick with you over the years. The traditions that you make during holidays, the silly, goofy, special things you do — all of it kind of become those special memories that hang on for ever. It’s been a decade since my parents passed away. I miss them terribly but the traditions they created and memories they made with me live on in my kids. It’s a rich heritage and I hope I am half as good at passing this stuff down to my kids as my parents were.

Treats like this have a place in those memories.
