Congolais - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    7 ounces coconut, shredded
    6 ounces sugar
    1/3 ounce vanilla sugar
    3 egg whites
Preparation
    Preheat oven at 400\u00b0F; prepare a baking sheet.
    Pour the egg whites, sugar and vanilla sugar into a saucepan over medium heat, then start whisking vigourously until they get hot and frothy.
    Take away from flame and keep whisking until temperature cools down a bit.
    Pour the shredded coconut in all at once and mix together with a wooden spoon.
    Place balls of coconut mixture on the baking sheet (about 2.5 inches in diameter).
    Bake for 15 minutes until they get golden; the Congolais must be crunchy outside and soft inside.
    Serve the biscuits warm or cold, simply by themselves or with a ball of vanilla ice-cream.
