Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in flour and salt until crumbly. Press the mixture into the muffin tin.
  3. Combine rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Whisk the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add sugar, coconut, vanilla, and salt. Mix until combined.
  5. Spoon the rhubarb filling over the crusts, then dollop and press down the coconut mixture on top.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Watch closely to avoid overbaking.
  7. Cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!
