Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 14 oz unsweetened shredded coconut (I like to use unsweetened shredded coconut, but if you only have sweetened, then omit the powdered sugar.)
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup finely chopped cranberries (you can pulse in a food processor, but don’t go too fine or they will be watery)
• ⅓ cup powdered sugar
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 3 egg whites
• ½ tsp salt
• White chocolate and dark chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

1. Combine the coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla in a bowl.
2. Separately combine the cranberries, powdered sugar and cornstarch. Fold both together gently.
3. Whip the egg whites and salt to medium stiff peaks and fold into the coconut mixture in three increments.
4. Scoop with a ¼ measuring cup or ice cream scooper, pack tightly and bake at 325 degrees for about 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Until golden.
5. Let cool and drizzle with white and dark melted chocolate. (Can be made and frozen ahead of time.)
