Ingredients

2 egg whites
12 ounces (340 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
1 (14-ounce [414-ml]) can full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
Zest of one orange (about 1/2 tablespoon [7 ml])

2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges. Allow them to cool before removing from the pan.
