Prepare baking tray with non-stick parchment paper – make sure it is crease-free.

Separate egg (using egg white).

Place egg white into a medium-sized glass bowl (if possible). Beat until egg white forms peaks (either using a fork or electric whisk).

Using a citrus fruit zester or traditional grater – remove rind from orange.

Sift icing sugar into egg whites.

Add orange rind, dessicated coconut and vanilla essence. Gently combine all ingredients.

Place small heaped spoonfuls of mixture onto the baking tray (evenly spaced apart). Slightly flatten to a small bite size.

Bake in a slow heat oven for about 12-15 minutes or until slightly brown in colour (worth keeping a eye on).

Gently remove from baking paper once slightly cool.
