Technical Sheet

• Estimated time: 25 minutes

• Difficulty: ⭐

• Servings: 4 people (approx. 12-15 units)

Ingredients

• 200g shredded coconut

• 2 medium eggs

• 80g of Erythritol Powder

• ½ teaspoon of Cream of Tartar

• A pinch of vanilla essence

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Initial whisking: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with the Erythritol Powder and the vanilla essence until the mixture becomes slightly foamy.

2. Stabilization: Add the Cream of Tartar . This will help the egg structure stay firmer during baking.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Cooling: Let them cool completely on a wire rack before handling so they can finish setting their texture.
