Ingredients Needed
- 225g (8oz) desiccated coconut
- 100g (4oz) caster sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- A little pink food coloring (optional)
How To Make Coconut Pyramids
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 180°C (Fan 160°C/Gas 4) or 350°F. Line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.
- Mix Ingredients: Measure the coconut and sugar into a bowl and mix. Beat in enough egg to bind the mixture and add a few drops of pink food coloring, if desired.
- Prepare Moulds: Dip each mould or egg cup into cold water and drain well. Fill each with the coconut mixture, pressing down lightly.
- Bake: Turn the moulded coconut out onto the baking tray and continue with the remaining mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the pyramids are lightly golden brown.
- Cool: Lift off the baking tray and leave to cool on a wire rack.
Recipe Tips
- Adjust Egg Quantity: Add egg gradually until the mixture holds together well; too much can make it wet, while too little will crumble.
- Press Firmly: When filling the moulds, press the coconut mixture firmly to avoid any gaps, ensuring the pyramids hold their shape while baking.
- Watch Baking Time: Keep an eye on the pyramids in the oven; they can go from golden brown to burnt quickly, so check them a few minutes early.
- Cool Completely: Let the pyramids cool completely on a wire rack before serving to achieve the perfect chewy texture.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Coconut Pyramids cool until they reach room temperature. Then, place them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: You can freeze Coconut Pyramids by placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To serve, thaw them in the fridge overnight before enjoying them.
