Description
Deliciously chewy coconut macaroons made with sweetened shredded coconut and topped with a rich semi-sweet chocolate coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 14-ounce (396g) bag sweetened shredded coconut
- ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk (160ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites (room temperature)
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped bars (170g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well.
- In a separate larger bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture using a spatula.
- Using a 1½-tablespoon scoop, drop the coconut batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the bottom of each cooled macaroon into the melted chocolate, then place them back on the baking sheet.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
