Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons
Description
This recipe blends sweetened condensed milk with vanilla and almond extracts, then combines flour, sweetened coconut flakes, and salt to form the macaroon mixture. Chilling the dough before baking helps the shape hold firm. These are scooped out and baked until just set, resulting in tender, moist centers with a slight chew from the shredded coconut.
After cooling, the macaroons’ bottoms are dipped in melted semisweet chocolate, which hardens to add a bittersweet flavor and smooth texture contrast. This combination balances sweetness with the chocolate's richness and the macaroons' nutty coconut flavor.
They make a good treat for dessert or gifting and hold their shape well for stacking or presentation. Preparing the batter ahead and chilling helps the scooping process. Baking on parchment paper makes cleanup easier.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2/3 cup flour
- 5 1/2 cups sweetened coconut flakes , 14 ounce bag
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate melting disks
Instructions
- Mix the extracts in with the condensed milk before adding in the flour, coconut flakes and salt and mix well.
- Refrigerate for one hour before using ice cream scoop to scoop 18 macaroons onto parchment paper and baking in a 350 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Once cooled melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments until completely smooth.
- Dip the bottom 1/2 inch of the macaroons in the melted chocolate and place back onto the parchment paper and let harden.
Notes
- Refrigerate the macaroon dough for one hour before scooping to help maintain shape during baking.
- Use an ice cream scoop to portion uniform macaroons for even baking.
- Allow baked macaroons to cool completely before dipping the bottoms in melted chocolate.
- Dip about half an inch of each macaroon in chocolate and place back on parchment paper until chocolate hardens.
