Bring your kids to the kitchen and let them help making these wonderful Coconut Tops – and maybe dip the bottoms in chocolate?! (We do that from time to time đ)
I actually totally forgot about these munchkins until my very good friend brought a bunch of these one day, at the neighborhood pool. It instantly brought me back to my childhood and the evenings where my sister and I suddenly got the urge to bake.
These takes maximum 5 minutes to mix together and only 10 minutes in the oven, so you literally CAN make them in last minute, in the evening, if you want something sweet to go with a good movie.
Here you’ll get two versions; one (the original) with unsweetened coconut, and one with sweetened coconut.
(the unsweetened version keeps their looks better (keeps the shape during baking, and makes it better to dip in chocolate) – the sweetened version doesn’t keep the peaks as well but gets a bit more crisp/sweet)
Coconut Tops
THE ORIGINAL COCONUT TOPS:
âȘ WITH UNSWEETENED FLAKED COCONUT:
10 oz Unsweetened  Flaked Coconut (about 300 g)
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
4 egg whites
1/2 stick butter (50 g)
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
(the unsweetened version â§)
âȘ WITHÂ SWEETENEDÂ SHREDDED COCONUT:
14 oz Sweetened  Shredded Coconut (about 300 g)
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
2 egg whites
1/2 stick butter (50 g)
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
(the sweetened version â§)
HOW TO:
Turn on the oven at 400°
Melt the butter in a pot.
When butter is melted turn off the heat, but leave the pot to absorb the leftover heat.
Then add the ingredients and mix them well together.
Line up two baking sheets with baking parchment.
Use two spoons to place the coconut mixture in small peaks.
Bake the coconut tops in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes.
Cool down the coconut tops – eat like that OR dip in chocolate ;o)
Melt the chocolate and dip the bottom of the coconut tops and let them stiffen on a piece of baking parchment paper.
Keep in the fridge for a few days only.
Not suitable for the freezer.
