Baking with Dorie: Coconut Domes
Serious Eats has just posted my latest Baking with Dorie recipe: Coconut Domes. Another easy treat, but this time it comes from the French pastry chef Pierre Herme, master of everything sweet. I hope you'll try it.

Dorie, I made these lovely confections today. Absolutely deliciously delicate. So easy to put together. I would say that the temperature of the milk is critical.Probably the eggs too. If it's too cool, the coconut won't absorb the liquid mixture as well.
Thanks for posting these and thanks to Pierrre Herme.

I made these as well. I think i was expecting a macaroon and should have known that it would not be the same with the egg yolks in there. But I was pleasantly surprised. It is "sweeter" than a macaroon and also much moister. Although one "could" dip them in bittersweet chocolate, I prefer mine unadorned.

Welcome Maureen and many thanks for your kind words. I really enjoy writing for my blog -- ask my husband and he might tell you I enjoy it too much (is it the reason I'm behind on just 100 other things?) -- and it makes be so happy to know that you and others are enjoying it.
Mandy - how great that you're making Pierre Herme recipes. I know him for many years and I've worked with him on over 200 recipes and I still can't get over how talented he is and how fabulous his recipes are.
Estelle - Thank you for your sweet comment. Yes, these are like macaroons, but they're very, very moist and softer in the center than traditional macaroons. I hope you like them -- let me know.

Dorie,
I love anything with Coconut and so I'll be makeing these. Does this cookie resemble a Macaroon? Recipe seems similar.
Thanks for your good humor and positive approach to things. I just love the idea of molding them, popping them in the freezer, and then baking whenever spirit moves me.

Nowadays I am willing to try any recipes written by Pierre Herme and/or you after so many successful attempts!

These sound incredible, and so easy, I can't wait to make them! I just discovered your website and I love your approach and writing style.
