Time 35m

Yield 12 bones

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon lime zest plus 1 tablespoon lime juice (1 large lime)
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch salt
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
One 13.8-ounce can refrigerated pizza dough, such as Pillsbury
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a straight-sided baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the coconut, sugar, lime zest, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
  • In a second small bowl, whisk together the jam and the lime juice. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Unroll the pizza dough and, using a rolling pin, roll into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. With a pizza cutter, cut the dough into twelve 1-inch strips. Tie a knot at both ends of the strips and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush each of the "bones" with some egg wash and then sprinkle with the coconut mixture.
  • Bake until golden brown and puffed, 13 to 16 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and serve with the raspberry-lime "blood" for dipping.
