Fleur's Kisses« Back to List of Recipes

Bill won't be happy when he finds that Fleur is giving away all of her kisses! This is one awesomely sweet dessert!

Ingredients:

3 egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
2 drops red food coloring
1 tsp almond extract
1 1/4 cups shredded coconut

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 300 F.
2. Place the egg whites in a glass mixing bowl with the salt.
3. Beat until the whites are stiff and slowly add 1 cup of sugar, beating constantly.
4. Gently fold in the red food coloring, extract and coconut.
5. Do this very slowly to avoid deflating the mixture.
6. Drop the mixture from a teaspoon onto a greased and well floured baking sheet (I use ungreased parchment paper).
7. Bake about 30 minutes.
8. Turn the oven off and let the kisses sit in the oven for 1 1/2 hours.
