Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 ounces Optional: Semi-sweet chocolate
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown on the edges and set in the middle.
Let the macaroons cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: If you'd like to add a chocolate coating, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water or in a microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring frequently. Dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons into the melted chocolate and place them on parchment paper to set.
Serve and enjoy your gluten-free coconut macaroons!
