Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 200 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Butter or coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and set aside.
In a separate bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites and salt together until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until fully incorporated.
Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop mounds of the mixture (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the edges are crisp. Allow the macaroons to cool completely on the baking sheets.
While the macaroons are cooling, melt the dark chocolate and butter (or coconut oil) together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in short intervals in the microwave, stirring frequently.
Once the macaroons are cool, dip the bottom of each macaroon into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them back onto the parchment paper.
Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
