Coconut Kisses ("kokosbusserl")

Submitted by Eismeer

"These small delicacies are rich, moist and full of flavour. And so simple. A traditional Austrian Christmas speciality absolutely worthy of being an all-year- rounder."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 250 g white sugar
• 250 g desiccated coconut
• 3 egg whites

directions

1. Beat egg whites until very firm, gradually adding the sugar and a pinch of salt. About 5-10 minutes.
2. Slowly and carefully incorporate coconut and lemon cest.
3. Cover a baking tray with either non stick baking parchment or a little melted butter and form little "heaps/piles" out of the coconut batter (about 1tsp. each).

5. Enjoy!
