Ingredients:
- 3 cups (250g) sweetened shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup (180ml) reduced-sugar sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
- 4 oz (115g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 tsp (5ml) coconut oil
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, reduced-sugar condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Use a spatula to fold the mixture until the coconut is fully saturated and the dough holds together.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into mounds on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Lightly press the tops with your palm to create a slight dome.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until the edges turn a deep mahogany brown while the centers remain pale.
- Allow the macaroons to cool completely on the pan. Dip the bottom of each macaroon into melted dark chocolate and place them on parchment paper to set.
