Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
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.
Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
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.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and shredded coconut using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
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.
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.
Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely for another hour. This will ensure they remain crisp.
Store the meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy their light, coconutty goodness anytime!
