Indulgent Delights with Desiccated Coconut

Coconut Macaroons

• Coconut macaroons are a delightful treat that's perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to elegant dessert spreads.

• These macaroons have a chewy texture on the inside with a slightly crispy exterior, thanks to the desiccated coconut powder.

• You can customize these macaroons by adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or drizzling melted chocolate over the top for extra indulgence.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups desiccated coconut powder

• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 egg whites

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut powder, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

4. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until fully incorporated.

5. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are lightly golden on the outside.

7. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Once cooled, store the coconut macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
