Ingredients

250 grams (8.8 ounces) Mascarpone cheese
100 ml. (1/2 cup) coconut milk
250 ml. (1 cup) heavy whipping cream
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
6 tablespoons icing sugar
150 grams (6 ounces) whole wheat graham cracker crumbs
50 grams (2 ounces) melted butter
50 grams (2 ounces) fresh coconut flakes

Directions

First of all, you need to prepare your coconut flakes.

Using a sharp tool, carefully poke a hole in each of the three spots on the top of the coconut. Flip the coconut over onto a cup or bowl and allow draining.
Preheat your oven to 180 C (356 F) and place your coconut on a baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until you see a crack developing. Separate the white meat from the shell using a knife.
After you have the white meat cleaned and cut into pieces, you could either shred it using a hand shredder or a food processor.
Mix the graham crumbs with the butter and the coconut flakes. Place the crumbs in every serving cup and press until a crust layer forms.
Mix the Mascarpone cheese, coconut milk and coconut extract in a large bowl, using either a rubber spatula or your food processor.
Mix the heavy whipping cream with 3 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla extract, using a hand mixer or a stationary mixer. Place the whipped cream in the refrigerator until you need it.
In another bowl, combine egg whites and the rest of the sugar and mix on highest speed of your electric mixer until stiff, dry peaks form.
Add the whipping cream to the Mascarpone mixture and carefully mix, using a rubber spatula. Then add the egg whites.
Be careful not to over mix & pour the mixture in the serving cups. Serve cold.
