Hello friends this is Griselle from
Griselle's Cakes welcome to my kitchen
and in today's video i'm going to share
a recipe that is super simple
and it's called besitos de cocos besitos
de cocos
is the hispanic pastry and it means
coconut kisses
but i was searching for others recipes
and is here is called
coconut macaroons so it's pretty much
the same thing because they have the
same ingredients
so i'm going to share with you this
morning and i hope you enjoy it and i
hope you get to try it
with your family thank you and let's go
to the recipe now
the ingredients that we need for our
besitos de cocos is going to be four egg
whites
three cups of unsweetened coconut flakes
half cup of brown sugar and this is
optional only if you would like to add
some chocolate to your besitos de cocos
it's gonna be semi-sweet chocolate chips
and also some cherries
we also need a measuring cup we need is
ice cream scoop we need some parchment
paper
and we need the baking sheet so now
let's go ahead and put all this together
the first thing that we're going to do
we're going to take our egg whites
we're going to put it in a bowl large
enough because we have to whisk our egg
whites
very simple you don't need a mixture
machine
now we're going to add our half cup of
brown sugar
mix really well
and now we're going to add three cups of
the unsweetened coconut flakes
oops i think i'm gonna need a spoon now
for these
or a spatula and we're gonna mix
all these really well
try to incorporate all the flakes
now here is our mix mixture for the besitos de coco
so now we're gonna take the parchment
paper
place it on the baking sheet
we're going to scoop
our flakes or our mixture press it
so they don't fall apart
and they do come off but we're just
gonna
place little balls like that
it's kind of messy but it's worth it
i just use the ice cream scoop so all
the besitos de coco are going to
be the same size pretty much
okay so i just put the besitos de cocos
in the oven at 350 for only 15 to 20
minutes
so let's wait and see how they're gonna
turn out this is how the
basitos de cocos came out of the oven
they are light golden brown
they are actually ready to eat if you
just don't want to
do the following step that i'm going to
show you um
you just wait for at least 20 minutes
because they're super hot
and then you you can go ahead and eat it
but you i'm going to show you different
ways that you can actually
um decorate them so you can take it to a
gathering together with families and
friends okay let's wait now 20 minutes
and in the meantime i'm going to melt
the semi-sweet chocolate chips so we can
go ahead and decorate them
here i have some of the semi-sweet
chocolate chips i'm going to melt
some of these in the microwave
for 30 seconds intervals
i'm not going to do a whole lot because
i'm just going to show you how can you
do it i'm not going to decorate all of
them with chocolate
okay now i'm getting everything ready to
decorate our
besitos de cocos i melt some of the
semi-sweet chocolate on
the microwave and it took me two times
for 30 seconds
in intervals also i have some cherries i'm
gonna be cutting
them in half
i also have some um this is something
that i just in the last minute i decided
to add
is some keto um syrup
and i'm just gonna need a little bit
just to put on top of the besitos de
cocos
and like i said these three ingredients
are optional
just in case that you would like to make
your besitos de cocos a little bit more
fancy i will say this is how our besitos
de cocos look like
now after they're been in the oven for
20 minutes
they're very light golden brown so we're
going to dip them on
chocolate
and again this is optional
just the bottom just like that
and we're gonna put them on parchment
paper
now the next thing we're going to do
we're going to take our chocolate
because i don't want to cover all of
them with chocolate i'm going to place
them on this little bottle
you can use actually a ziploc bag if you
don't have this small bottle
and make a little small small cut
in one of the corners of the ziploc bag
and just to decorate
your um coconut kisses
or besitos de cocos so i'm going to take
all the rest of the chocolate place it
on the bottle
i think everything with chocolate again
is always delicious
i like to add chocolate pretty much
everything that's how much i love
chocolate
now what i'm going to do is so i'm just
going to decorate
the um besitos de cocos on top
just like this just to make it look
nicer
yummy besitos de coco with chocolate yummy
now the other um the rest of my coconut
kisses what i'm going to show you
is another way to decorate them
is going to be we're going we're going
to take some of the
kato syrup light syrup
and we're going to cover the besitos de
cocos
it's very sticky
just like this
i'm going to take some more
and then we're going to take um the
cherries
that i cut in half and we can put them
on top like this
and look how beautiful
this is just another way to
make your besitos de cocos coco
the coco  more fancy
to take them to another level
and look how pretty besitos de cocos
coconut macarons so how
look how beautiful super simple
only three ingredients only if you don't
want to
if you don't want to use the decorations
then it will be only three ingredients
otherwise
you need the keto syrup you need the
cherries and the semi-sweet chocolate
chips then it will be more
ingredients of course okay so this is
set for today's our besitos de cocos are
done and i think they turn out amazing
they look very pretty you can actually
leave them plain if you don't want to
add the chocolate or the cherries and
the kato syrup
and they will be delicious anyway so um
