• 1 cup of coconut cream
• 2 cups of shredded coconut, chopped

FROSTING:

• 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut, toasted

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

5. Transfer to 3 greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake, 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

7. Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1/2 cup frosting and sprinkle with 1/3 cup coconut. Repeat. Top with the remaining cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake; sprinkle with remaining coconut. Refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting. Store in the refrigerator.

• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 1 ½ cups sweetened flaked coconut (Optional)

Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle, a good coconut macaroon is an irresistible thing.

It’s also a particular favorite for people who avoid gluten.

As long as you have some shredded coconut stashed away in your cupboard and a few eggs that you don’t mind cracking, a batch of sweet macaroons can be yours in less than half an hour.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups shredded coconut
• 4 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Arrange a rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat to 350°F.
2. Toast the coconut (optional). For deeper coconut flavor and extra-crispy macaroons, spread the coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until just barely starting to show some color, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly before using.
3. Whisk the egg whites, coconut sugar, vanilla, and salt. Place the egg whites, coconut sugar, vanilla or almond extract, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until the whites and sugar are completely combined and the mixture is frothy.
4. Combine the coconut and egg white mixture. Add the coconut and stir until the coconut is evenly moistened.
5. Shape the macaroons. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. With wet hands to prevent sticking, shape the coconut mixture into small balls about 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Space them an inch or so apart on the baking sheet.
6. Bake the macaroons for 15 to 20 minutes. Bake the macaroons until golden-brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
7. Cool the macaroons. Let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
