Crispy and Fragrant Coconut Rosca
Homemade Coconut Rosca Finger Food: Bursting with Coconut Flavor!
Introducing our Crispy and Fragrant Coconut Rosca! This delightful finger dessert is easy to make using shredded coconut and coconut flour, yielding approximately 12-14 pieces. Perfect for special occasions or afternoon tea time.
Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites (approx. 60-70g)
- 60g powdered sugar, sifted
- 30g almond flour, sifted
- 60g shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 20g desiccated coconut powder
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut and desiccated coconut powder.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, gently whisk the egg whites until any large bubbles are broken up. Avoid whipping them into stiff peaks; we just want to loosen them.
Step 3
Add the sifted powdered sugar to the egg whites. Using a spatula or whisk, mix until no dry powder is visible.
Step 4
Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and cohesive, with no lumps. It might feel quite thick at this stage.
Step 5
Add the sifted almond flour to the bowl. Gently fold it into the mixture with a spatula until just combined and no dry flour remains. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Gently fold in the combined shredded coconut and desiccated coconut powder using chopsticks or a spatula. Mix lightly to ensure the shredded coconut pieces remain intact and don’t break down too much. The goal is to evenly distribute the coconut.
Step 7
The dough is ready when it comes together as a cohesive mass. It should be moist but hold its shape.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into roughly round mounds. Leave some space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden. Baking time and temperature may vary depending on your oven.
Step 9
Your Coconut Rosca are done when the tops have developed a nice color and the edges are slightly golden. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.
