Essential Ingredients- 160g Shredded Coconut (unsweetened)
- 2 large Egg Whites
- 50g Melted Unsalted Butter
- 60g Granulated Sugar
- 2g Vanilla Extract (approx. 1/2 tsp)
Optional Ingredients (for decoration)- 100g White Chocolate (for coating)
- A pinch of Strawberry Powder (for color and flavor adjustment of the white chocolate)
- 100g White Chocolate (for coating)
- A pinch of Strawberry Powder (for color and flavor adjustment of the white chocolate)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, lightly whisk the fresh egg whites. Then, add the vanilla extract and granulated sugar. Mix with a whisk until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the mixture becomes smooth. Be careful not to over-whisk.
Step 2
Add the shredded coconut to the egg white mixture and gently fold it in with a spatula until just combined. Ensure there are no lumps and the consistency is even.
Step 3
Pour in the melted and slightly cooled butter into the batter. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated, forming a cohesive dough. The dough should be slightly thick but manageable.
Step 4
Using two spoons or your hands, scoop out portions of the dough. Shape them into small, cone-like or pyramidal mounds, similar to a small volcano peak. This shape will give the cookies a beautiful appearance after baking.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Place the shaped dough mounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the tops are lightly golden. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F) and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cookies are a beautiful golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 6
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely. Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. Stir in a small amount of strawberry powder to achieve a lovely pink hue and subtle fruity flavor. Dip the bottom of each cooled rocher cookie into the melted chocolate to coat. Once the chocolate sets, your delicious Coconut Rocher cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
