- Shell the eggs and divide the yolks from the whites. Pour the egg whites into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and work with the electric whisk at maximum speed until the mixture is stable and swollen.
Don't throw the yolks away!
In this recipe we only need the egg whites. The yolks can be recovered to make zabaglione, custard, shortcrust pastry and a thousand other desserts!- In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the grated coconut. Slowly and little by little add the mixture obtained to the whipped egg whites. You will get a dense and grainy mixture.
- Line 2 plates with baking paper.
- Preheat the oven to 160 ° C.
- Take a teaspoon of dough from the bowl and form a ball with your hands. Place the cakes obtained on the baking plates lined with greaseproof paper, taking care to maintain a certain distance between one sweet and the other.
- Bake the sweets at 160 ° C for about 12 minutes, checking the surface from time to time to make sure that they cook evenly.
- Once cooked, leave the sweets to dry in the off oven for a few minutes.
- Proceed with the decoration only when the biscuits have cooled down well.
- Cut the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in the microwave or in a double boiler. Dip the base of each coconut cake in the melted chocolate and leave to solidify in the fridge for half an hour or at room temperature for a couple of hours.
- The treats are ready to be served.
