Congolais Ou Rochers Coco (french) is an quick and easy baked coconut ball. It is similar to coconut macaroons except this recipe call for whole egg instead of just egg whites. It has a slightly crispy exterior with soft and chewy interior. These sweet coconut balls are great for any occasions, be it a tea time gathering or the coming festive seasons. It is also great to make it together with kids.
