Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups (200 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whip the egg whites with granulated sugar and salt to soft peaks using an electric mixer.
  3. Fold in the shredded coconut and almond extract until evenly combined.

Notes

Ensure your bowl is clean and grease-free for optimal egg white whipping. Use unsweetened coconut for a cleaner flavor and mix in chocolate ganache for an elegant touch.
