ingredients

  • 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons finely shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 3.5 oz egg whites
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • gold luster dust, optional

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl add the sugar, coconut, egg whites, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

  • Step 2

    Mix in melted butter and extracts. Refrigerate dough for at least one hour to set up.

  • Step 3

    Once the dough is done chilling, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.

  • Step 4

    Using a 2 tbsp ice cream scoop, scoop a portion of dough into your hand and roll it into a ball. Wet your fingers and use them to form the ball into a pyramid shape. Place the shaped pyramids onto the lined baking tray.

  • Step 5

    Bake the trays for 5-8 minutes or until the edges of the pyramids are golden brown.

  • Step 6

    In a small bowl, add the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave in 30 second increments. Stir between each increment until the chocolate reaches a smooth consistency.

  • Step 7

    Dip the tip of each cooled pyramid into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped pyramids into the freezer for 5-10 minutes so the chocolate can set. Use a paint brush to add some luster dust on top of each pyramid. Enjoy!
