CHOCOLATE DIPPED COCONUT MACAROONS
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all the ingredients except the chocolate together in a bowl. (The recipe can be made up to this point and kept refrigerated up to 3 days in advance.)
- Scoop the mixture with a small 1 to 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between the cookies. Bake until light golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on the pans.
- Remove from the pan and dip the bottoms in melted chocolate, then place back on the sheet tray to set up.
CHOCOLATE-DIPPED COCONUT MACAROONS
Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan stir together the egg whites, the sugar, the salt, the vanilla, and the coconut, sift in the flour, and stir the mixture until it is combined well. Cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, increase the heat to moderately high, and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes more, or until it is thickened and begins to pull away from the bottom and side of the pan. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, let it cool slightly, and chill it, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until it is just cold. Drop heaping teaspoons of the dough 2 inches apart onto buttered baking sheets and bake the macaroons in batches in the middle of a preheated 300°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are pale golden. Transfer the macaroons to a rack and let them cool.
- In a small metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring until it is smooth, remove the bowl from the heat, and dip the macaroons, 1 at a time, into the chocolate, coating them halfway and letting any excess drip off. Transfer the macaroons as they are dipped to a foil-lined tray and chill them for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set. The macaroons keep, chilled and separated by layers of wax paper, in an airtight container for 3 days. (If the macaroons are made in advance, let them stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.)
Tips:
- Use fresh, unsweetened shredded coconut. This will give your macaroons the best flavor and texture.
- Beat the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry. If you overbeat them, the macaroons will be tough.
- Fold the coconut into the egg whites gently. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the macaroons flat.
- Drop the macaroon batter onto the prepared baking sheet in small mounds. Leave enough space between the macaroons so they don't spread together.
- Bake the macaroons until they are set and lightly browned on the bottom. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Let the macaroons cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly.
- Use a good quality chocolate for dipping. This will make a big difference in the taste of your macaroons.
- Dip the macaroons in the chocolate halfway, or all the way, depending on your preference.
- Place the dipped macaroons on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them set completely.
- Store the macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Coconut macaroons dipped in chocolate are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is sure to impress your guests.
