Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Shredded coconut
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites until they become frothy.
Step 3
Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to mix. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and shredded coconut using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 6
Transfer the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip (or use two spoons to dollop the mixture onto the baking sheet). Pipe or spoon the meringue into small, even-sized rounds or shapes onto the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until they are completely dry and easily lift off the parchment paper.
Step 8
Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely for another hour. This will ensure they remain crisp.
Step 9
Store the meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy their light, coconutty goodness anytime!
