Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180˚C.
Using an electric mixer, whisk the eggwhites and sugar for 8–10 minutes until soft peaks form. Fold in the remaining ingredients until just combined.
Line two large baking trays with baking paper. Using two teaspoons, drop walnut-size balls of the mixture onto the trays, 3 cm apart.
Bake the coconut rocks, 1 tray at a time, for 5–7 minutes until just starting colour. Allow to cool before serving.
