Delicate coconut sticks literally melt in your mouth and anyone can manage to make them. With a minimal number of ingredients you’ll create a moist and aromatic dessert that goes well with coffee, as a healthier snack, or on a festive table. The recipe also contains no flour or gluten — you only need coconut, egg whites, and sugar.

For 12 portions

Ingredients

Shredded coconut: 200 g

Powdered sugar: 100 g

Egg whites: 3 pcs

Vanilla sugar: 1 packet (10 g)

A pinch of salt (to taste)

Preparation procedure

Preparing the egg whites Separate the yolks from the whites (keep the yolks for a cream or baking). Put 3 egg whites with a pinch of salt into a clean, degreased bowl and whisk them to stiff peaks so the mixture holds its shape.
Sweetening and flavoring Add 100 g powdered sugar and 1 packet of vanilla sugar to the stiff meringue. Whisk again until the sugar is fully incorporated and the meringue holds slightly.
Folding in the coconut Gently fold 200 g of shredded coconut into the sweetened meringue with a spatula. Fold a few times lightly so the coconut is evenly combined with the meringue and no air is incorporated.
Shaping the sticks Preheat the oven to 160 °C (fan) or 180 °C (conventional). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape 12 – 16 smaller rolls or triangles from the coconut mixture by hand or with a spoon. Place them on the sheet with a small gap between each.
Baking Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 – 20 minutes, until the coconut sticks are golden at the edges. The surface should remain slightly pale and the tops slightly set.
Finishing After baking, let the sticks cool on the sheet for 5–10 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely. Store them in an airtight container – they will stay soft for up to a week.
