ORANGE COCONUT MACAROONS DRIZZLED IN CHOCOLATE
This is a match made in heaven. Fresh orange zest in coconut macaroons with chocolate! I made these with citrus thinking of spring and it was for my Passover dinner since there is no leavening in them. It was a big hit! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.

CHOCOLATE DRIZZLED COCONUT MACAROONS
Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan stir together the egg whites, sugar, salt, vanilla, and coconut, sift in the flour and stir the mixture until it is combined well. Cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, increase the heat to moderately high, and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes more, or until it is thickened and begins to pull away from the bottom and side of the pan. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, let it cool slightly, and chill it, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until it is just cold. Drop heaping teaspoons of the dough 2 inches apart onto parchment paper and bake the macaroons in batches in the middle of a preheated 300'F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are pale golden. Transfer the macaroons to a rack and let them cool. In a small metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring until it is smooth, remove the bowl from the heat, and scoop the chocolate into a pastry bag fitted with a small, round tip. Drizzle the chocolate over the macaroons. Chill the macaroons to set the chocolate. The macaroons keep, chilled and separated by layers of wax paper, in an airtight container for 3 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh, unsweetened coconut: Fresh coconut will give your macaroons the best flavor and texture. If you're using unsweetened coconut, you'll need to add sugar to the recipe.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your macaroons tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the batter before baking: Chilling the batter will help the macaroons hold their shape better in the oven.
- Bake the macaroons until they are golden brown: The macaroons should be golden brown on the outside and slightly soft on the inside. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the macaroons cool completely before dipping them in chocolate: This will help the chocolate set properly.
- Use high-quality chocolate for dipping: The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your macaroons. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-drizzled coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover egg whites. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect macaroons every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
