INGREDIENTS
3 cups (250g) sweetened shredded coconut
2/3 cup (200g) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (115g) dark chocolate, melted
PREPARATION STEPS
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix the Coconut Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly coated.
Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Fold and Combine: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites as they create a light texture.
Form the Macaroons: Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart
Use your hands or a spoon to shape them into small mounds.
Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set. Remove from the oven and let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheet.
Add the Chocolate Drizzle: Once cooled, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the tops of the macaroons using a spoon or piping bag
Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.
Serve and Enjoy: These macaroons are perfect for serving as a light treat or gifting during the holidays.
Pro Tip: For a fun twist, dip the bottoms of the macaroons into melted dark chocolate instead of just drizzling on top.
