Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1/3 cup 70g sugar
- 1¾ cups 120g shredded coconut
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 60 g dark chocolate for dipping and decorating
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites, vanilla, and salt until slightly frothy. Gradually add the sugar while whisking continuously until the mixture looks glossy and forms a light, liquid meringue.
- Gently fold the shredded coconut into the meringue using a spatula. Mix until everything combines evenly and the coconut is fully coated.
- Use a small ice cream scoop or spoon to form medium-sized balls of the mixture. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the macaroons for 15 minutes, or until they turn light golden brown around the edges.
- Let the baked macaroons cool completely on a wire rack before adding the chocolate.
- Place the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons into the melted chocolate and place them back on parchment paper. Pour any remaining chocolate into a small parchment piping bag and drizzle thin lines over the tops for a beautiful finish.
- Refrigerate the macaroons for at least 20 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.
