Preheat oven to 180 degree celsius.

Try to give a nest shape and put those cases in a small muffin or cake tin.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown on top.
Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Mean while for filling, over medium-high heat place the cream and lemon rind in a small saucepan.
Bring to boil, then remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes.
Chopped the chocolate and put in a heatproof bowl.
The cream mixture return to boil and then pour over the chopped chocolate.
Discurd the lemon rind and stir until melted and smooth.
Use few drops of food colour to tint.
Set aside to cool and thicken slightly.
Gently take out the coconut tarts from patty pan cases.
Fill in the tarts with melted chocolate.
To make eyes use chocolate buttons and place a M & M's horizontally to make a beak of baby chicks.

Place them in the fridge to set properly.
