Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Grate the coconut using a cheese grater. Separate the yolks from San Juan® eggs from the whites and set aside. Mix the yolks with the sugar, cornstarch, and grated coconut. On a tray lined with parchment paper, place a small ring and pour a little of the previous mixture, press with a spoon to compact, remove the mold and repeat the process until the mixture is finished. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy.
