Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Finely chop the dried apricots into small pieces. Ensure they are evenly sized for better distribution in the macaroons.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped dried apricots, coconut meat, and condensed milk. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is sticky.
Use a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 1 inch apart to allow for slight spreading.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the macaroons are golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't over-brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the macaroons are cooling, melt the dark chocolate. You can do this using a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Once the macaroons are completely cooled, you can either drizzle the melted dark chocolate over them with a fork or dip the bottoms of the macaroons into the chocolate. Place the macaroons back on the wire rack or parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set.
Once the chocolate has hardened, your apricot macaroons are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Finely chop the dried apricots for a smoother texture in the macaroons.
- Use fresh coconut meat for the best flavor, but store-bought shredded coconut can be used as a substitute.
- Mix the condensed milk thoroughly with the other ingredients to ensure an even distribution of sweetness.
- Chill the macaroons in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape better.
- Consider lining your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Drizzle or dip the macaroons in melted dark chocolate for an added layer of richness.
And there you have it – delicious 4-ingredient apricot macaroons! This simple recipe brings together the sweetness of apricots, the tropical flavor of coconut, and the richness of dark chocolate to create a delightful treat.
