1 roll of puff pastry
300 g of shredded coconut
4 egg whites
1 and 1/2 cups (or 3/4 cup) of sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
4 yolks
Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 12 strips, each 10 cm wide
In a round mold, place one strip of pastry in the center, then to the edges
Pass the egg whites along the sides of the pastry and place another strip
With six strips, you'll have half the side and the bottom of the mold completely covered
Then, cut the strips in half to cover the rest of the side
Be careful not to make the bottom too thick. Reserve
In a pan, mix the coconut, sugar, and half of the yolks
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar melts and forms a glaze
Keep heating, stirring until it becomes shiny
Let it cool and spread it over the prepared mold
Close with the pastry points, folding them in the center to form a flower design
The filling will be the coconut cake, 'de coco'
Garnish with the remaining yolks and bake in a preheated medium oven.
