Ingredients

    unsweetened coconut flakes, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract, egg white, salt

Tips

More lemon juice and vanilla can be added.


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 Celsius). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and lemon juice. In a medium bowl, beat egg white and salt with electric mixer until it holds soft peaks. Fold whipped whites into coconut mixture. Using a teaspoon, drop small mounds of mixture, measuring about 1 1/2 inches (3.81 cm) in diameter, about 1 1/4 inches (3.18 cm) apart on the prepared sheet. With slightly wet fingertips, pinch the mounds to make them slightly narrower and taller, about 1 inch (2.54 cm) tall with a slightly pinched top. Bake for 15-17 minutes, rotating the sheet from back to front after 10 minutes.
