Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas mark 4. Grease and line a baking tray.
Tip the egg whites into a bowl and whisk until foamy.
Add the sugar, coconut, courgette, lime zest and juice and mix until it forms a sticky mixture.
Spoon the mixture into 12 heaps on the baking tray with a little gap in between. Make a little well in the middle of each one.
Place in the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes until set and light golden brown.
Meanwhile, tip the chocolate and either heat in a microwave for 30-second bursts until melted, or into a bowl set over a pan of water. Leave for 2-3 minutes until the chocolate has melted then remove from the heat and stir until smooth.
Drizzle the chocolate over the “nests” then set 3 mini eggs in each one and serve when cold.
