Ingredients
Macaroons
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg white
Milk Chocolate
- 100 g plain milk chocolate block, broken into squares
Instructions
Macaroons
- Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 356ºF (180ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut and pour over the condensed milk and vanilla. Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined. Set aside.
- Whip Egg White: In a separate bowl, use an electric beater to beat the egg white to soft peaks, about 1 minute. To check for soft peaks, stop whisking and lift the beaters; the whipped egg whites should form a peak that stands briefly before softly curling over.
- Fold Egg into Coconut: Gently incorporate the whipped egg into the coconut mixture.
- Shape Macaroons: Scoop 2 tablespoons worth of the mixture onto the lined tray, forming dome shapes with either an ice-cream scoop or spoon.
- Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and crisp all over. Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
Milk Chocolate
- Melt Chocolate: Melt chocolate in a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Dip Macaroons: Dip each macaroon's base into the chocolate, letting excess drip off, then set chocolate-side up on a lined baking sheet or wire rack.
- Set: Let the chocolate harden at room temperature or chill in the fridge.
Notes
- Store: In an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- To freeze: ensure they're completely cooled, then arrange them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. For thawing, allow them to sit at room temperature for a few hours or refrigerate overnight.
