These super easy, super delicious snacks are a fun baking activity to do with the kids using just a few cupboard items. They can also be used as gluten free tarts cases and are super delicious with a dark chocolate ganache and some berries!

Ingredients

  • 400 grs desiccated coconut
  • 395 grs sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  • 1)

    Preheat oven to 165C.

  • 2)

    Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.

  • 3)

    In a large bowl, and using your hands, mix the condensed milk with the desiccated coconut and the vanilla, making sure to coat all the coconut with the sweet milk.

  • 4)

    Place the egg whites and the salt in a separate bowl, making sure it’s free from any trace of grease. Whisk until stiff peaks form.

  • 5)

    Fold the egg whites into the coconut mix.

  • 6)

    Using 2 small spoons or your hands, form small mounds or macaroons, and place on the baking tray. Keep some space between although they’re not going to puff a lot.

  • 7)

    Bake for 20-25min until light golden and crunchy.

  • 8)

    Cool on a cooling rack and store in an airtight container once completely cool.
