This is a great recipe! I will make it again and again! I took the advice of fellow reviewers and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, because I was using sweetened coconut. I also added 3 drops of blue food coloring to make them more cloud-like. I did have to bake them for an additional 10 minutes, but I am working with a new oven. All in all, fluffy, adorable, and VERY low cal. Thanks again!

Excellent recipe. I doubled it up, since I had 4 egg whites to use. I also chopped the coconut in a food processor for a few pulses, so the coconut was not so "stringy" and used half almond extract and half coconut extract. Delicious on their own but even more incredible when sandwiched together with whipped cream (I added a couple of teaspoons of cream of coconut instant pudding to the cream instead of sugar when whipping!) Wow!

What a delightful way to use up extra egg whites. I made these today after I read reviews,I also only used 1/2 cup conf sugar. They were sweet enough. I will make again and I made 15 bite sized meringues from this recipe.

This is a very yummy meringues, however the sugar can be cut to 1/2 half cup. 3/4 cups is just a little too sweet for a meringue. Also, I only got 12 small cookies with the original recipe. I'll definitely double or triple the next time around. Might even try adding a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder next time...what's not to like about a chocolate coconut combination

Very good! I only used 1/2 cup sugar, and they were plenty sweet. I will make these again!

I tried these meringues because I'm dieting and wanted a sweet treat with minimal calories and fat. They are DELICIOUS! I also found them very easy to make. I did not have any cream of tartar in the house, so I doubled the recipe and used 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. I only used about 1/8 teaspoon of almond extract, even for a double recipe. They were perfect - there was a tiny, tiny hint of almond, but it was not overpowering for these delicate cookies. The coconut was a wonderful addition of texture and flavor. I will definitely be making these again, and I suspect they will be a go-to diet dessert on many occasions!

Easy & Good! Bonus is these goodies won't derail your diet at the holidays.... I made a few batches and experimented with different extracts but the coconut ones were by far my favorite! I added 2 drops of green food coloring with the extract. I think next time I might tint the coconut RED and the meringues Green... very festive! One more tip- instead of dropping them by teaspoons I put it in a Qt size ziplock bag and cut the tip and piped them on so I could add a slight swirl- they turned out great and look pretty- see picture

Easy and delicious. I added a bit more coconut because I love it - maybe another tablespoon. Baked them on a Silpat mat. Will definitely make again.

Followed everything to a T. My roommate loved them but I could barely eat one of these because it was far too sweet in my opinion. It's definitely one that you either love or hate.
