If I asked my mom what her favorite dessert is, she probably wouldn't be able to make up her mind, but it would most definitely be something containing coconut. She always seems to be on the go and busy with something, so I came up with this recipe for her. They are easy to take with you and are a sweet but simple snack that seems to be just enough. Guten Appetit! (Enjoy your meal) and stay healthy.
Flaky Coconut Macaroons:
2 1/2 cups of sweetened shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups of regular coconut milk (not lite)
2 egg whites (can use Ener-G egg replacer as well-will make macaroon flakier.)
1/4 cup agave
1 tsp gluten free vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. While your oven is preheating beat your egg whites. Once beaten, slowly mix in agave, coconut milk, vanilla, and salt. Once evenly mixed, fold in coconut. Spoon dollops of mixture onto parchment paper to desired size. Bake for 10-13 minutes* or until the tips are brown.
*I came up with this recipe while I was living in California, and have yet to make them at high altitude, so baking time may need to be a little longer. Keep an eye on them, and once they begin to brown they are done. I am still working on a high altitude version so stay tuned!
