Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 cups of shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of shredded coconut, 3/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until well combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown on the bottom and around the edges. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 8 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
- Dip the bottom of each cooled macaroon into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Pace the dipped macaroons back onto the parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the macaroons for 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Enjoy!
