Chocolate Coconut Macaroons Dipped in Dark Chocolate
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 egg whites, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Fold in 3 cups of shredded coconut until evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded mounds of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the bottom of each cooled macaroon into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped macaroons back onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the dipped macaroons for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Serve and enjoy!
