Dessert -- White Chocolate Macaroons
4 oz. white chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
One half tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 large egg whites
2 cups flaked coconut
One third cup macadamia nuts, chopped
Two thirds cup dried pineapple, chopped
Melt white chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave, being careful not to scorch. Combine sugar, ginger and cinnamon and stir. Beat egg whites with a mixer until foamy. Slowly add sugar mixture and continue beating for several minutes until sugar is dissolved. Add melted white chocolate, coconut, nuts and pineapple and stir. Drop tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake for about 15 minutes or until slightly browned.
