Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 cups of shredded coconut. Stir well to ensure that the sugar is evenly distributed throughout the coconut.
- In a separate clean, grease-free bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the 2 egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This means the egg whites should hold a firm shape when you lift the beaters out of the mixture.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites; use a spatula and gentle folding motions to combine both mixtures until well blended.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, place small mounds of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about an inch of space between each mound to allow for slight spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown around the edges and slightly set in the center.
- Remove the macaroons from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the macaroons are cooling, melt the dark chocolate. You can do this by breaking the chocolate into small pieces and placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Once the macaroons have cooled, use a spoon or a small piping bag to drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the tops of the macaroons. Allow the chocolate to set, which may take about 15-20 minutes at room temperature or a few minutes in the refrigerator.
- Once the chocolate has set, your chocolate-drizzle coconut macaroons are ready to be served. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- Make sure to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks to help the macaroons hold their shape.
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a better texture and a more natural coconut flavor.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheets to prevent the macaroons from sticking and to make clean-up easier.
- Allow the macaroons to cool completely before drizzling the chocolate to ensure it hardens properly.
With just a few simple steps, you've created delicious Chocolate-drizzle Coconut Macaroons that are sure to impress. Allow them to cool completely before drizzling with chocolate, and enjoy them as a delightful snack or a wonderful dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
