Print Recipe

These decadent chocolate dipped macaroons combine toasted coconut with rich melted chocolate for a chewy, nostalgic treat that’s quick and easy to make. Perfect for potlucks, gifting, or cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut (about 240g)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (240ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature, lightly whipped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5g)
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (170g)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (5ml), optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Toast the shredded coconut lightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through until golden.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the toasted coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix gently until evenly incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, lightly whip the egg whites until frothy but not stiff.
  5. Fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture carefully, preserving the light texture.
  6. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, shape the batter into mounds about 1.5 inches (4 cm) wide, placing them 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden brown and tops slightly firm but centers still soft.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes.
  9. Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
  10. Dip the cooled macaroons halfway into the melted chocolate and place them back on parchment paper. Optionally, swirl a fork over the chocolate for decoration.
  11. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving or packaging.

Notes

Toast coconut carefully to avoid burning. Do not overbake to keep chewy centers. Cool macaroons completely before dipping in chocolate to prevent melting. Use short microwave bursts to melt chocolate and stir frequently. Adding coconut oil to chocolate helps achieve a smooth, shiny coating.
