Time 1h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon fine salt
1 large egg white
3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
1 (4 ounce) bar semisweet chocolate, chopped, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, salt, and egg white in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Add about 2 1/3 cups shredded coconut. Mix with a spatula until mixture is sticky and holds together. Form into balls using a sorbet scoop.
  • Roll balls in remaining coconut. Space macaroons evenly onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place 3/4 of the chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate until it melts.
  • Dip the base of each cooled macaroon about 1/8 inch into the chocolate. Place cookies, chocolate-side down, on parchment paper. Let chocolate harden completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and shredded coconut: Freshly shredded coconut has a better flavor and texture than store-bought desiccated coconut.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make the macaroons tough. Beat them until they are stiff peaks.
  • Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper: This will prevent the macaroons from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Bake the macaroons until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the macaroons cool completely before dipping them in chocolate: This will help the chocolate to set properly.

Conclusion:

Chocolate-kissed coconut macaroons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect macaroons every time.
