Coconut pyramids are cakes simple enough for children to make, and gluten free.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (100 g) desiccated coconut
  • ¼ cup (50 g) castor sugar
  • 1 egg
  • About 6 glacé cherries (optional)
  • a few drops pink food colouring (optional)

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C (356 °F).
  2. Mix the caster sugar and desiccated coconut in a bowl.
  3. Beat the egg in another bowl.
  4. Add the egg (and food colouring if using) to the dry ingredients, and stir until evenly mixed.
  5. Form into 6 or 7 pyramids using your hands or an egg cup, and place on a lined baking sheet (or use cupcake cases).
  6. Lightly press a glacé cherry (if using) into the top of each pyramid.
  7. Bake for 15–20 minutes until pale golden-brown.

Tips

  • After baking, the pyramids can be decorated with a little melted dark chocolate.
  • Coconut pyramids will keep for a few days in an airtight container.
