Tips to Make Easter Egg Nest Tarts

• Use a light hand when molding the Kataifi pastry to avoid compacting it too much.
• Experiment with different fillings, like chocolate ganache or whipped cream, if you want to change it up.
• If you can’t find mini speckled chocolate eggs, use regular chocolate eggs or any other candy that fits the theme.

Variation

You can also make chocolate nests using shredded coconut instead of Kataifi pastry. They provide a different texture and flavor while still looking cute and festive.
