Chocolate dipped coconut macaroons! Need I say more…?

Well, of course, I do. Chocolate dipped coconut macaroons. Yes, they do have a little sugar in them. Yes, they have some calories. Yes, eating 10 in one sitting is not a great idea but just look at them. Don’t they look just so good…

Chocolate dipped coconut macaroons

I know! Wow right? Well, the look is nothing compared to the chocolate and coconut taste, and that chewy texture is just fantastic. Each mouthful coats your tongue all over and has you crying out for more…

But, as I alluded to above, everything in moderation right? These are so delicious they will have you crying out for more, but 2 or 3 at any one time is probably enough.

Having said that, here’s the great thing about these bad boys. They keep!! That’s right. You can make a load of them and, assuming you have at least a modicum of will power, store them in a fridge for around a week. Or even freeze them for up to a month.

With that in mind let’s get on and make some…



1. Gather all of the ingredients together

There are only 6 ingredients for these macaroons. Dark chocolate for dipping and then just desiccated coconut, caster sugar, flour, egg whites and vanilla extract for the macaroons themselves. The printable recipe below gives measurements for 6 large or 12 small macaroons but just scale up or down depending on how many you want to make.

Gather all of the ingredients together



2. Prepare the macaroons for baking

This is the messy part, so make sure you’re hands are clean…

First, take all of the ingredients barring the chocolate and place in a mixing bowl. Mix together with a wooden spoon until the mixture is all sticky and gooey.

Mix until gooey

With the mixture made you now need to decide on what size macaroons you want. Personally, I either go for dessert spoon size for large or teaspoon size for small. Either way, using your spoon of choice scoop up a spoonful of the mixture and then roll it into a ball in the palms of your hands. Then simply place the ball on a baking tray that has been lined with greaseproof baking paper and press down lightly with your fingers.

Place on greaseproof baking paper

Note that you don’t want to flatten the uncooked macaroons so just press down lightly. Also, leave space around them as they will spread when in the oven.



3. Bake the macaroons and cool

Once all of the macaroons are on baking trays place them in a pre-heated oven at 180C / 160C Fan and bake for 14-16 minutes until golden brown. You may need less time if the macaroons are small. Just keep an eye on them.

Bake until golden

Once baked, and using a slice, remove the macaroons from the baking paper and place on a wire rack to cool.

https://theyumyumclub.com/2019/02/05/chocolate-dipped-coconut-macaroons/

Leave to cool

Yes, you’ll notice that 6 went into the oven but there are only 5 on the cooling wire… I told you they were good! Yum!! ????



4. Melt the chocolate and finish the macaroons

You can melt the chocolate in a microwave but if you haven’t got one then just form a bain marie. Do this by adding some water to a small saucepan and place the chocolate in a glass bowl over the pan. Heat the pan on a stove and as the water heats the chocolate melts.

Melt the chocolate over a bain marie

By the time the chocolate has melted the macaroons should have cooled. Now just dip the macaroons in the chocolate and then place back on the cooling wires. Then, and using a spoon, drizzle melted chocolate over the macaroons and leave to cool until the chocolate has set.

Leave to cool
