Categories     Cookies     Dessert

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sweetened condensed milk
5 cups unsweetened dried coconut ((fine or medium cut))
pinch salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3 tbsp sugar
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup glace cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line baking sheet/2 with parchment paper.
  • Combine the sweetened condensed milk, the vanilla extract and salt.
  • Fold in the coconut.
  • Whip the egg whites to soft peaks along with the sugar and cream of tartar.
  • Fold the egg whites completely through through the coconut mixture.
  • Form the haystacks using a boiled egg cup or small ice cream scoop. Keeping the inside of the egg cup slightly wet helps form the cookies and makes them easier to release. Some folks like to line the egg cup with plastic wrap. Chilling the dough may also help make them easier to form.
  • Top each haystack with a piece of glace cherry or other dried fruits or nuts.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until the bottom edges just begin to turn brown.
  • Cool completely on the pan. Store in an airtight container. Can be frozen too.

COCONUT HAYSTACKS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield 12 large haystacks

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 1/4 cups flaked sweetened coconut
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the coconut in a single layer on a baking tray. Toast until golden brown, about 10 minutes. The edges will toast faster than the middle so stir coconut every couple minutes for even coloring.
  • Melt the chocolate over a double boiler over hot water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Remove the chocolate from the heat and whisk until smooth. Stir in the coconut. Using approximately 1 tablespoon per haystack, form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch tall stacks. Place them on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.

COCONUT HAYSTACKS



Coconut Haystacks image

Coconut haystacks are a super fast and easy candy that everyone loves. All you need are two simple ingredients to make them.

Provided by Elizabeth LaBau

Categories     Dessert     Candy

Time 28m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups/16 ounces sweetened coconut (shredded)
1 cup/8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
Optional: You can substitute milk chocolate or white chocolate for the semi-sweet for a milder flavor and slightly different color. Other options include drizzling caramel on top of your haystacks.

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • First, toast the coconut. Preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the coconut in a pie tin or small baking pan, and toast it in the oven until golden brown. The secret to good toasted coconut is consistent browning, so stir it every 2 to 3 minutes until it is an even, light golden color. It will probably take 8 to 10 minutes but monitor your coconut carefully.
  • While the coconut is toasting, place the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it until it is melted, stirring every 45 seconds.
  • Once the coconut is toasted and chocolate is melted, stir the coconut into the chocolate, mixing until coconut is entirely coated with chocolate.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Using a small teaspoon or candy scoop, drop small spoonfuls of the candy onto the prepared sheet.
  • Once all candy has been formed, refrigerate the tray for 30 minutes until the chocolate is set. Drizzle with caramel if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shredded coconut for the best flavor and texture. If you only have unsweetened coconut, you can add a little bit of sugar to taste.
  • If you don't have any sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of regular milk with 1 cup of sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly. This will take about 15 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overcook the coconut mixture. It should be just thick enough to hold its shape when you drop it from a spoon. If you overcook it, it will be too hard.
  • Let the coconut haystacks cool completely before you dip them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
  • You can use any type of chocolate you like for dipping the coconut haystacks. Semi-sweet chocolate is a good all-purpose choice, but you can also use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate.
  • If you want to get creative, you can decorate the coconut haystacks with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even edible glitter.

Conclusion:

Coconut haystacks are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover coconut. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying snack that everyone will love.
