Coconut Macarons

Indulge in the delightful taste of these sweet and chewy coconut macarons, a classic treat that has roots in French patisserie and a tropical twist! With their golden brown exterior and tender, moist center, these little morsels are perfect for any occasion—whether it's a festive celebration, an afternoon tea, or a simple dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth. Each bite is a burst of coconut goodness that transports you to a sun-kissed paradise.

Serves 12

Ingredients

Egg whites
2 large
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Sweetened condensed milk
1 cup
Shredded coconut
3 cups, unsweetened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and salt using an electric mixer on medium speed until they form stiff peaks, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  5. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the macarons are golden brown on the edges and lightly toasted on top.
  7. Once baked, let the macarons cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of almond extract or lime zest to the coconut mixture.
  • 💡 You can dip the cooled macarons in melted dark or white chocolate for a decadent finish.
  • 💡 These macarons can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
