12 ounces Melissa's Dried Coconut Chips
2 Melissa's Butterscotch™ Pears, shredded, liquid squeezed out
1 (13½ ounces) can Dulce de Leche, such as Nestle La Lechera
2 Melissa's Vanilla Beans
3 Egg Whites, room temperature
¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
In a bowl, combine the coconut chips and the next 3 ingredients. Set aside. In the bowl of a standing mixer, whip the egg whites and salt to firm peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut-pear mixture.
Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Drop tablespoon size amounts of the batter onto the parchment paper, leaving some space in between each drop. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Slide the parchment paper out of the baking sheet pan onto the counter and let cool.
