Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk (light or regular)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 egg whites
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped or in chips (60–70% cacao)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.

3. Whip the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture until fully incorporated.

4. Shape the Macaroons
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form 20 small mounds and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

5. Bake
Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges. Let cool completely.

6. Dip in Chocolate
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Dip the bottoms of the cooled macaroons into the chocolate and place them on parchment to set. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to harden the chocolate.
