These soft and slightly crisp little bites are perfect for the whole family to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known in French as <em>&#8220;rochers coco&#8221;<\/em> or <em>&#8220;congolais&#8221;<\/em>, these coconut treats are made with shredded coconut, whipped egg white, and a little sugar. Their lightly crunchy outside and melt-in-the-mouth center make them a hit with babies, and grown-ups too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why from 11\/12 months?<\/strong> Coconut is naturally high in fiber, which might be a bit tricky to handle for very young babies. But if your baby is already used to finger foods and different textures, you can absolutely give it a try earlier (especially if there\u2019s no history of allergies, introducing coconut early is actually encouraged!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this version, the shredded coconut is gently folded into a fluffy egg white and just a touch of sugar. Note: sugar isn\u2019t usually recommended before 12 months, but exceptions like this are fine when used sparingly in homemade treats. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to make these coconut macaroons (From 11 months):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For 6 coconut macaroons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 egg white<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>25g (about 1\/4 cup) shredded coconut<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>15g (about 1 tablespoon) white sugar or coconut sugar<br><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to prepare baby-friendly coconut macaroons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:17px\">Preheat your oven to <strong>320\u00b0F (160\u00b0C)<\/strong>. If you&#8217;d prefer them less crispy, set the oven to <strong>300\u00b0F (150\u00b0C)<\/strong> instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start by <strong>separating the egg<\/strong>, we\u2019ll only use the egg white. Place it in a large bowl and whisk it until it forms stiff peaks. A hand mixer works best, but a regular whisk does the job too (just a little arm workout!).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a separate bowl, <strong>mix the shredded coconut with the sugar<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gently <strong>fold the coconut-sugar mixture into the beaten egg white<\/strong>, being careful not to deflate it too much, we want to keep that airy texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:17px\">Once the mixture is well combined, <strong>form 6 little mounds<\/strong> on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
