Coquitos are one of those traditional sweets that take us back to childhood. This version is ideal because it keeps all the juiciness and intense coconut flavor, but completely without sugar. To achieve the perfect sweetness and a stable texture, we will use Erythritol Powder and a pinch of Cream of Tartar .

A pinch of vanilla essence
Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Initial whisking: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with the Erythritol Powder and the vanilla essence until the mixture becomes slightly foamy.
-
Stabilization: Add the Cream of Tartar . This will help the egg structure stay firmer during baking.
-
Adding the coconut: Gradually add the shredded coconut. Mix with a spatula or with your hands until you get a dense, sticky dough that lets you form balls without them falling apart.
-
Shaping: Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Shape small balls or mounds (you can use a piping bag if you prefer a more classic shape) and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
-
Baking: Bake for about 10-12 minutes. It is essential to keep a close eye on them: as soon as you see the tips start to brown, remove them so they do not end up dry inside.
-
Cooling: Let them cool completely on a wire rack before handling so they can finish setting their texture.
