Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl.
Whip the two egg whites and salt on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until they make medium-firm peaks.
Carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture. Drop the batter onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper using two teaspoons.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool and serve. For color or festive holidays, add a piece of a maraschino cherry on top before baking.
