Chocolate Coconut Macaroons
I normally post recipes every 3 to 4 days, however, this time I just couldn’t wait to share this one with you guys. I’ve been working on a lot of chocolate recipes this week and posted a recipe for Double Chocolate Cookies yesterday. Quickly, here I bring to you another chocolate lovers delight, Chocolate Coconut Macaroons.
I do bake regular coconut macaroons and have shared my recipe in the past. So this time I decided to make the regular macaroons with some chocolate love. When I baked them this week my mother couldn’t stop biting into these. They are so juicy as I bake them with freshly grated coconut and kept them chocolaty to just add some more fun to these delicate macaroons.
About These Cookies
These macaroons are not crisp or firm like regular cookies however they are soft on the inside with a thin crisp texture on the outside and a juicy flavorful taste. Easy to make and like most of my recipes, pretty hassle-free.
Chocolate Coconut Macaroons
Let’s Talk Ingredients
Coconut: Most coconut macaroon recipes ask for dried or desiccated coconut. I use dried coconut for my regular macaroons but these are special. Freshly grated coconut just adds to the juiciness of these macaroons.
Fresh coconut is full of flavor and rich in taste, keeping the nutty flavor more real. All you need to do is grate fresh coconut and use as required.
Chocolate: This recipe has a combination of cocoa powder and melted chocolate. I like to use dark chocolate. In case you like milk chocolate, go ahead. You can even add a combination of melted milk & dark chocolate to this recipe.
Cocoa powder is essential to keep up with its richness. Make sure to use unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder to get the rich taste and color.
Egg white: This recipe also contains egg white. Make sure to not beat the egg white much. I’d recommend not using an electric beater but just manually whisking it. You do not want the egg whites to form peaks but just loosen it up a bit.
