I wanted to try that Dorie Greenspan recipe! They look so delicious and soft in your photo. My husband loves coconut, so these are a must.

What a sweet story Fanny. I've got the same with French toast, which my gran used to make me on Wednesday afternoons. And whenever I visit her (she's 83 now), I still ask her to make me her famous rice pudding.

I love to hand out with my grand parents. They're the coolest people on earth and my grandma clearly is one of the best cooks I know.

What a beautiful story. Coffee is also too bitter for my taste, but I love a coffee-flavoured dessert from time to time.

Interesting. Those coconut balls look just like the coconut 'rocks' we used to make at the French restaurant I worked at. Ours were just coconut, lemon zest, rum, and egg whites though. They look very similar...

Your coconut rocks sound exotic: coconut, lemon (lime would be great too, wouldn't it?) and rum. Such a classic flavour combination I can never get enough of!

I love the rain too, except when it messes with my photo shoots, heh :) I'd normally shun coconut-y things, but these in particular remind me of the too-decadent condensed milk coconut macaroons that I enjoy every now and then.

I've been having so many problems with pictures recently. I can only shoot from 10am to 4pm; time during which I should be at uni, not taking pictures of food in my room.

Beautiful coconut balls Fanny. I was thinking to make some soon too, they look like snow balls and will be perfect for Xmas. Greeting, Margot

Thank you for the kind words. These balls definitely fit my winter mood and would certainly look great on Christmas table. xxx

You pilliage my Facebook Wall, so I get to be first commentor!

Great story, I had the rather fitting soundtrack of ‘Everlong’ by Foo Fighters on whilst reading it.

Coconut things are so good at bringing back childhood memories.
