Method
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat egg whites and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gently fold in coconut, pineapple, white chocolate and vanilla. Drop mixture in 2-tablespoon portions onto a large, parchment paper-lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake until set and golden brown on the bottom, about 15 minutes. Loosen by running a knife under each, and then serve warm or at room temperature. If you want to make ahead, cool and store in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.
