The coconut rock, or congolais, is one of the simplest treats in French pastry: 3 ingredients, 10 minutes of preparation, and an addictive result, golden and crispy on the outside, soft and melting on the inside. The little golden pyramid that smells of coconut has been a favorite for generations.
It is also the ultimate anti-waste recipe: do you have leftover egg whites after making pastry cream or crème brûlée? Congolais are the answer. Enjoy them plain, or with the base dipped in dark chocolate for a luxury pastry version.
