Chocolate-Covered Coconut Macaroons
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 large egg white
  • 3 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 (4 ounce) bar semisweet chocolate, chopped, or to taste
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) by adjusting the temperature dial.
2
In a mixing bowl, blend together sweetened condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, salt, and egg white until they are fully incorporated. Use an electric whisk to ensure a smooth mixture.
3
Add approximately 2 1/3 cups of shredded coconut to the bowl and mix until a sticky dough forms. Continue stirring with a spatula until the mixture holds its shape.
4
To create the desired macaroon shape, use a scoop or spoon to form balls from the dough. Then, roll each ball in the remaining coconut to coat.
5
Place the macaroons on a silicone-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. This will allow for proper cooking and prevent overcrowding.
6
Bake the macaroons in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool to room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
7
Simultaneously, melt the chocolate in a double boiler by placing it on top of simmering water. Stir the chocolate frequently with a rubber spatula to prevent scorching, and continue stirring until it reaches a smooth consistency.
8
Remove the melted chocolate from heat and stir in the remaining chocolate until it is fully incorporated. This will ensure a smooth, melted chocolate.
9
Dip the base of each cooled macaroon into the melted chocolate, using about 1/8 inch of chocolate. Place the cookies on parchment paper with their chocolate sides facing down.
10
Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving. This may take several minutes, depending on the temperature and humidity of your surroundings.
