Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon 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 sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is evenly coated and sticky.
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whisk the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture in increments, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Using a large cookie scoop or your hands, form the mixture into 12 large mounds and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly.
Bake the macaroons in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops and edges are golden brown. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through to ensure even baking.
Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and shiny.
Dip the bottom of each macaroon into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheets, chocolate-side down.
Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or chill the macaroons in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
Serve and enjoy these jumbo black bottom coconut macaroons, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
