Coconut Macaroon Nests
Servings 9 nests
Equipment
- Mini muffin tin
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1½ tsp white sugar
- ¼ salt
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 27 mini eggs or jelly beans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Coat a mini muffin tin VERY WELL with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and salt until well combined. Add the coconut and mix with a fork until it is evenly coated.
- Drop 2 tablespoons of the coconut mixture into each mini muffin cup. Lightly press with your thumb in the center of each to form a nest.
- Bake for 28-30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully run a spatula or knife around the edges of the muffin cups to loosen the nests. Gently lift out the nests and allow them to cool completely.
- Microwave for 30 seconds; remove and stir. Cook in 10-second increments until melted. Set aside to cool a bit. Spoon into a Ziploc bag and snip a small portion off the bottom corner.
- Drizzle some white chocolate into each nest, then place three eggs or jelly beans on top. Serve and enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container.
