4 Ingredients Coconut Macaroons

There are many things I discovered and loved about Switzerland apart from my endless pursuit of cheese fondue and palmiers for breakfast. I also had a seeming constant craving for coconut macaroons. I enjoyed them so much that they overtook my love for chocolate. And whilst I could go on and on reminiscing about my bountiful younger years, I am sure that’s not what you are here for. Here’s why you should make these coconut maracoons with chocolate for dessert or for afternoon tea.

In spite of their intimidating name, coconut macaroons are shockingly easy to make. In fact how to make them can fit in one sentence. Just whisk the sugar and egg whites, then pour in the shredded coconut; stir until homogeneously incorporated, shape, and bake.

Homemade gift set or Bake sale anyone! Well here’s an idea, wow them with coconut macaroons which have a flair of elegance yet require zero effort to make.

Got kids? Well, making coconut macaroons is a great idea to keep them preoccupied whilst scoring some ‘bonding time’.

How to Make These Easy Coconut Macaroons for Dessert

Preheat the oven to 120°C / 248°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper

Whisk the egg whites and sugar, then pour in the shredded coconuts and mix.

Scoop about a heaping tablespoon worth of the coconut mixture and tightly squeeze (otherwise they risk falling apart) it in your palm then shape it into a cone, do the same for the rest.

Bake for 45 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let them cool completely, then if using chocolate, melt it and dip the coconut macaroons in it. Then drip some chocolate over the macaroons.
