Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the coconut, matchinga powder and coconut flour.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites, syrup and vanilla extract.
- Pour wet into dry and mix until combined. Let sit at least five minutes on the counter (the coconut flour helps absorb the liquid).
- Then, pack the mixture into an ice cream scoop tightly (otherwise the macaroons will crumble) and portion them out onto a lined baking sheet.Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the pan and bake another three minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for at least thirty minutes
- While cooling, heat the coconut oil, cacao butter and syrup in a small pot on low heat. Once coconut oil is melted, whisk in the nut butter and cacao powder until smooth.
- Line a cutting board with parchment paper and very carefully (use a fork or a spatula) place each macaroon into the chocolate sauce to coat the bottom and part of the sides.
- Then, remove the macaroon and place on the parchment paper. When all of them have been dipped, place the board in the freezer to firm up the chocolate for 30 minutes.
- When ready to eat, remove from the freezer and let thaw.

- The finer the shredded coconut is shredded the better the coconut macaroons hold together.
- The coconut macaroons are not firm coming out of the oven. Let them sit at room temperature for at least thirty minutes for them to firm up.
- This recipe was originally made with a very delicious chocolate sauce. However, it made it so there were extra ingredients. You can either use the original chocolate sauce recipe (below) which does add a blend of healthy fats or just melt ½ cup of mini chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and use that.
- Or, you can skip the dipping and just drizzle on some dairy-free chocolate ganache.
