Coconut Sugar Rochers Recipe

Discover a deliciously fragrant twist on traditional coconut rochers, sweetened with coconut flower sugar for a unique, naturally caramelized taste.

Ingredients (for about 10 rochers)

Prepare the base:

- In a bowl, mix the shredded coconut and the coconut flower sugar.
- Add the vanilla extract if using, and mix well.

Whip the egg whites:

- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are frothy (not too firm).
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut and sugar mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites to keep the texture light.

Shape the rochers:

- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-assisted).
- Using your hands or a spoon, form small balls of dough and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Shape them into slightly pointed "rock" shapes.

Baking:

- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden.
- Keep a close eye to prevent over-browning.

Cooling:

- Remove the rochers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before handling.

Variations:

- For extra indulgence, dip the base of the cooled rochers in melted dark chocolate.
- For an exotic twist, add a pinch of lime zest, powdered lime, or a dash of cinnamon to the mixture.

Enjoy these coconut sugar rochers with a cup of tea or coffee, or as a quick and healthy snack.
