Ingredients
- 300 g desiccated coconut
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- egg whites from 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius (340 Fahrenheit, 140 fan oven).
- In a large bowl, add the egg whites and use a hand mixer to beat them well until they hold stiff peaks.
- In a separate bowl, mix the desiccated coconut with the condensed milk.
- Use a spatula to fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture to get a lighter, airy consistency.
- Line 2 trays with non stick paper.
- Use an ice cream scoop or 2 spoons to shape round cookies - I flattened mine slightly for an even bake.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden.

Notes
- Make sure the coconut mixture is not sloppy, or the macaroons will spread in the oven, if you think it's not firm enough to be scooped, add more desiccated coconut.
- I flattened mine a little bit, to ensure a quicker, even baking, and that worked a treat - perfect macaroons, with a light and airy texture, and a divine coconut flavour.
