Frosty the Snowman
Happy New Year! My last Christmas post, I'm finally caught up. I protected this position for death because even though Christmas is over, as farsighted as it's still snowing (or. still winter if it doesn't snow where you live), you can even hold these snowmen macaroons without question.
These would have a fun winter afternoon DIY project, an indoor snowman building contest or something of the sort, an option to making gingerbread houses. You could set out plates of the baked coconut macaroon heads and bodies, different candies for decorating, and melted chocolate for kids to make their own edible snowmen.
Coconut Macaroon Snowmen
adapted from Coffee and Zucchini
9 oz unsweetened dried coconut flakes (250g)
3/4 cup 1 T sugar (160g)
a speck of salt
3 medium egg whites
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix the coconut flakes with the bread and salt. Add the 3 egg whites and mix till all the coconut is moistened. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On one baking sheet, make teaspoon sized coconut balls (the heads). Bake this plane for 10 minutes or until the coconut begins to barely brown at the edges.
On the other baking sheet, make tablespoon sized coconut balls (the bodies). Bake this plane for 12 minutes or until the coconut begins to barely brown at the edges. Let them set on the baking sheet for a pair of minutes, then let them finish cooling on a cable rack.
chocolate chips
orange Starburst candy
fruit roll-up candy or fruit leather
Melt your chocolate chips. Spread a bit of coffee on the buttocks of one of the small coconut balls and so set the macaroon on one of the large coconut balls. Hold it in office until the chocolate sets so the question will stay straight. Repeat with the rest.
Cut up your fruit roll-ups into long, thin strips 1/8 inch wide to make scarves for your snowmen. Wrap the scarves around the necks of your snowmen, hiding the coffee you used to glue the heads and bodies together.
With kitchen shears or clean scissors, cut little bits off the edges of the orange Starburst candies to make carrot noses. Press these orange candy bits into the center of where the faces should be on your snowmen; they should be capable to remain stuck on their own. Now, if your chocolate has hardened, remelt it and with a toothpick, dot on eyes and buttons.
