Those who love coconut and white chocolate combos will enjoy this erythritol sweetened and gluten-free treat. Lime zest adds a refreshing citrus flavour to the cookie that's complemented by the sweet white chocolate coating. It is super easy to make and takes just a few ingredients.

4 Egg whites, at room temperature 75 g Desiccated coconut 75 g Desiccated coconut, lightly toasted 100 g Erythritol granules 1/2 tbsp Finely grated lime rind 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract Pinch of salt 150 g White chocolate couverture for dipping, chopped

1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add in coconut, erythritol granules, lemon rind, vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Use a rubber spatula to fold the dough together until combined.
   
2. Dampen your hands with cold water and form tablespoons of mixture into domes. Bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
   
3. In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the chopped white chocolate, removing it from the heat when a few small lumps remain. Stir until smooth.
   
4. Working one at a time, dip the bottoms of the macaroons into the white chocolate and place back on the lined sheet pan. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes until set. Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days.
