Ingredients:
- Coconut milk (1 can, 400 ml)

Instructions:
- Prepare the Coconut Milk: Gently heat the coconut milk until it becomes liquid. Pour it into a bowl and let it cool slightly if necessary.
- Make the Batter: Add the egg yolks to the coconut milk. Sift in the rice flour mixed with the baking powder. Add the vanilla extract and, if using, the shredded coconut, coconut oil, and coconut liqueur. Mix everything together with a hand mixer until you have a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
- Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
