Ingredients
- Egg whites
- 2 large
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup
- Shredded coconut
- 3 cups, unsweetened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- 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.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the macarons are golden brown on the edges and lightly toasted on top.
- 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.
