Tips:

Use fresh coconut for the best flavor. If you are using unsweetened coconut flakes, you can add a bit of sugar to taste.
Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the squares tough.
Bake the squares until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
Let the squares cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
For a richer frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can spread the frosting on the squares with a spatula.
Garnish the squares with additional coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or sprinkles before serving.

Coconut angel squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a sweet and coconutty flavor. The frosting is rich and creamy, and the coconut flakes add a nice crunch. These squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
