Grated, powdered, and flaked coconut
Grated coconut, fine coconut powder, or coconut flakes for macaroons, toppings, and exotic decorations.
Grated, powdered, or flaked
Grated coconut is a classic for coconut macaroons and toppings; fine powder blends evenly into batter or cream; flakes, often toasted, are mainly used as a decorative topping on cakes and entremets.
Toast for more flavor
Coconut flakes and grated coconut can be toasted in the oven at 150–160°C for a few minutes, stirring every 2–3 minutes, until golden brown. They burn quickly: monitor them until fully cooked.
