ABOUT THESE MACAROONS

You call it a perfect coconut macaroon when it is crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle. Well, Yes !! This one is…

These macaroons are simply delicious and easy to make. I couldn’t resist sharing my recipe with all of you. So here it is, a complete guide to a perfect coconut macaroon.

Coconut Macaroons

How to make macaroons ?? 

Oh Yes, to make coconut macaroons we need coconut. But what type??

Well, it is desiccated coconut. Desiccated Coconut is finely shredded & dried coconut. Macaroons made with dried coconut last longer. However, you can follow the same recipe by using fresh shredded coconut instead of desiccated coconut. It tastes great but doesn’t stay well as long as the macaroons made with desiccated coconut.

So, if you willing to consume these beauties within 2-3 days, you can use fresh shredded coconut however if you want to store these longer for 7 to 8 days then get started with using desiccated coconut. I prefer desiccated coconut so I always land up using only desiccated coconut.

For The Coconut Macaroon Mix

Firstly, this recipe consists of Egg whites, sugar, flour & coconut.

So first, you need to beat the egg whites & sugar in a double boiler, making sure you whisk it constantly. You do not want to have remnants of egg yolk in this mixture. Keep beating the mixture until all the sugar has melted.

Once done, take it off the flame and fold in the remaining ingredients one at a time. Once the mixture is ready, it is important that you refrigerate it for at least an hour.

Next, using 2 spoons or an ice cream scooper, scoop the mixture and place it on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake these cookies for 20 until golden brown. Do not overbake as the macaroons will turn dry.

Once baked, all you need to do is bite into it. I enjoy dipping my macaroons in some melted dark chocolate, if you’d like that too, PERFECT … Nothing tastes as good as freshly baked stuff, so no waiting just bite into some coconutty love…
