Coconut Macaroon Cup Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Place the Coconut Flakes in a large mixing bowl and stir with a spatula to breakup any chunks.
  3. Add the Sugar and stir to combine.
  4. Add the Egg Whites & Vanilla. Stir to evenly coat all the coconut.
  5. Add Melted Butter and continue to stir until coconut is evenly coated.
  6. Spray non-stick spray into a 12-well muffin tin.
  7. Use a 1 oz. scoop to scoop ¼ cup of Coconut Mixture into each well of the muffin tin. Use your fingers to press the mixture into the bottom & sides of each well to form the shape of a cup. Use the bottom of a glass or small plastic container to press down and tightly pack the coconut into each well.
  8. Transfer to pre-heated oven and bake until light golden brown (approximately 20-24 minutes).
  9. Allow to cool before assembling cheesecake cups.
