Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg whites and vanilla extract together until frothy, but not stiff.

Step 4

Pour the egg white mixture into the coconut mixture. Stir with a spatula until all the coconut is evenly coated and the mixture forms a sticky, cohesive dough.

Step 5

Press the mixture into the prepared pie pan, forming an even crust along the bottom and up the sides. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to gently press and pack it down firmly.

Step 6

Place the pie crust in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is set.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the crust cool completely in the pan before adding any fillings. It will firm up as it cools.

Step 8

Use the macaroon pie crust as the base for your favorite cream, custard, or fruit pie recipe. Enjoy!
