FOUR-INGREDIENT GLUTEN-FREE ITALIAN COCONUT COOKIES



Four-Ingredient Gluten-Free Italian Coconut Cookies image

These traditional Italian soft cookies are a hit at any get-together. I've made them gluten free but you can use the same amount of all-purpose wheat flour instead of gluten-free flour. There are many variations of this cookie in Italy. Some people add chocolate chips and some drizzle dark chocolate over them once cooled.

CHERRY COCONUT EASTER EGGS (GLUTEN-FREE)



Cherry Coconut Easter Eggs (Gluten-Free) image

Recipe from Nestle Australia website and also shown in March 2010 Australian Coeliac Magazine- featured as the cover recipe. I'm personally not a fan of Copha.....so wont be using it in my eggs. The photo on the site looks delicious - check it out on the link given below Use gluten-free ingredients if any variations are made to suit gf diet. Cooking time does not include refrigeration . This recipe uses Australian Metric measuring cups. 1 cup =250 mls....so if you are using US cups then I would measure in an extra 1/2 to 3/4 cup of coconut. Recipe makes 36 larger or up to 50 smaller eggs. We make the smaller size as the eggs are very rich for little tummies. You can see my eldest daughter Nadene making the eggs in the Kids Cooking Forum- http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=328855 original recipe here - http://www.nestle.com.au/nestlerecipe/recipe/Cherry-Coconut-Easter-Eggs-Recipe.aspx

Time 35m

Yield 36-50 Easter Eggs, 36-50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups desiccated coconut
300 g chopped red glace cherries
red food coloring
375 g sweetened condensed milk (a whole can)
375 g dark chocolate or 375 g white chocolate
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional) or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the dessicated coconut, chopped cherries, a few drops of red food colouring and the condensed milk in a bowl and mix well. Add colouring a little at a time until you get a bright colour. We aimed for something like a 'cherry ripe' chocolate bar colour.
  • Roll heaped teaspoonfuls of the mixture into egg shapes. Squeeze the mix together and roll into ball shapes. Then shape with your hands to make oval egg shapes. If the mixture is too soft -- add a little more coconut and mix thoroughly.
  • Place eggs on a tray and refrigerate until firm.
  • Combine the melted chocolate with the copha or oil. You can just use chocolate without the copha or oil- these just give a glossier looking finish to the eggs.
  • Dip eggs into chocolate and again refrigerate.
  • Decorate as desired with melted NESTLÉ Dark Melts or White Melts (or any chocolate will do -really) that have been coloured with red food colouring.
