Your muffins look beautiful. I love the fact that the glaze on top is made with egg white instead of the normal powdered sugar and water.

I am having a little bit of a love affair with coconut right now and this desert means I don't have to cheat on chocolate. Thanks.

I let out a little gasp when I saw this photo on today's Top 9 at Foodbuzz. These look so yummy. My first favorite candybar was Almond Joy, so I love coconut and chocolate. I've moved on to more sophisticated chocolate truffles and ganaches since then, but still love the coconut and chocolate combo.

Hello. I love your website and your YouTube channel! I look at your videos every day! I have some questions about this recipe: 1. Could you please put the quantities of the ingredients in grams and millilitres? 2. Are these mini muffins or regular sized muffins? They look smaller in the picture. 3. Could I use desiccated coconut instead of flakes? If yes, how much do I need? Thank you so much for your help!
