How to Make Toasted Coconut Marshmallow Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9" square metal baking pan.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until glossy and stiff.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the meringue until just combined.
  5. Spread the meringue evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  7. While the marshmallow layer bakes, toast the coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Once the marshmallow layer is baked, let it cool completely in the pan.
  9. Sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the cooled marshmallow layer.
  10. Once the coconut is applied, cut into squares and serve. For best results, let them sit in the fridge for 30 min before serving.
  11. Store between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to one month. Making these on a dry day helps prevent stickiness.
