Bake your meringue pie at a high temperature with a short baking time. This prevents overcooking the outer layer of meringue, so beading is avoided. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 4 to 5 minutes.
Fold the nut mixture and extract into the meringue using a metal spoon. When the two mixtures are combined, use your hands to make 8 small coconut mounds on the baking sheet.
