A straightforward recipe for making moist, chewy coconut macaroons topped with a simple dark chocolate drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, egg whites, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  3. Fold in the shredded coconut until it is evenly coated with the milk mixture. Do not overmix.
  4. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds. You can shape them slightly with your hands if desired.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges and tops are golden brown.
  6. Remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before moving them.
  7. Prepare the drizzle: Place the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  8. Transfer the melted chocolate to a small zip-top bag or a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Snip a tiny corner off the bag.
  9. Drizzle the melted chocolate back and forth over the cooled macaroons.
  10. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving, about 30 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a chewier interior, avoid overbaking. The centers should remain slightly soft when you remove them.
  • If you prefer a crispier exterior, you can lightly toast the coconut before mixing it into the batter.
  • For a cleaner drizzle, ensure the macaroons are completely cool before applying the chocolate.
