Description

Mary Berry’s Coconut Pyramids are small, pyramid-shaped coconut cookies made with just a few ingredients. The desiccated coconut gives them a chewy texture, while sugar and egg whites create a sweet and light base. These little pyramids are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, making them an irresistible treat.


Ingredients

  • Desiccated coconut – 200g, the main ingredient for texture and flavor.
  • Caster sugar – 100g, for sweetness.
  • Egg whites – 2 large, act as a binding agent.
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon, adds a touch of flavor (optional).
  • Butter – For greasing the baking tray.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Tray

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Grease a baking tray with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut and caster sugar.
  • Add the egg whites and vanilla extract (if using).
  • Mix well until the ingredients form a sticky dough.

Step 3: Shape the Pyramids

  • Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a pyramid using your hands.
  • Repeat until all the mixture is used, placing the pyramids on the prepared baking tray, spaced slightly apart.

Step 4: Bake the Pyramids

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the pyramids are golden brown on the edges.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

  • Allow the pyramids to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes.
