How to Make Macaroon Baked Plums

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash and halve approximately 6 ripe plums. Remove the pits and arrange them cut-side up in a baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup shredded coconut, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg white, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined and slightly fluffy.
Spoon the coconut mixture generously into the center of each plum half, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the coconut topping is golden brown and the plums are tender. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Serve the warm plums immediately, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of decadence.
