Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is uniform and the cocoa is fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.
Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges are lightly browned.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool completely on the parchment paper.
While the macaroons are cooling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled macaroons using a spoon or a piping bag for a decorative touch.
Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving, about 15-20 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Store the fudge macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
