COCONUT MACAROONS



Coconut Macaroons image

Soft and chewy on the inside, crisp and golden on the outside -- these are the perfect coconut macaroons.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Desserts

Time 45m

Yield 26 macaroons

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 14-oz bag sweetened flaked coconut, such as Baker's Angel Flake (see note)
⅞ cup sweetened condensed milk (see note below on measurement)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs whites
¼ teaspoon salt
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, best quality such as Ghirardelli, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Set two oven racks near the center of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Use a large rubber spatula to fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.
  • Using a mini ice cream scoop or two spoons, form heaping tablespoons of the mixture into mounds on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back, until the tops and edges are golden. Let cool on the pans for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • If dipping the macaroons in chocolate, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at medium power, stopping and stirring at 30 second intervals, until just smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.) Dip the bottoms of the macaroons in the chocolate, letting any excess drip back into the bowl, and return to the lined baking sheets. Place the macaroons in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. The cookies keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week.
  • Note: There is a lot of variability in coconut depending on the brand you purchase. For the best results, I recommend Baker's Angel Flake (see package in the first picture on this page).
  • Note: ⅞ cup = ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons
  • Note: Make sure to use parchment paper (NOT wax paper) on the baking sheets. The macaroons will stick to wax paper.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The macaroons can be frozen for up to 3 months. (If you plan to dip them in chocolate, wait until you thaw them to do that.) Let them cool completely and store in an airtight container separating layers with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Before serving, remove the cookies from the container and let them come to room temperature.

COCONUT MACAROONS



Coconut macaroons image

Make these easy coconut macaroons with just a handful of ingredients. These classic bakes are ideal for filling your biscuit tin or enjoying with a cup of tea

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Time 45m

Yield Makes 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs, whites only
80g caster sugar
150g desiccated coconut
1 tsp vanilla paste
90g dark chocolate

Steps:

  • Whisk together the egg whites and caster sugar in a large bowl for 2-3 mins until light and frothy, and the sugar has dissolved. Add the coconut, a pinch of salt and the vanilla, then stir until combined. Leave to stand for 10 mins.
  • Heat the oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3½. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Scoop teaspoonfuls of the mixture and roll into compact balls, then arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden.
  • Leave on the baking sheet to cool completely. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water, or in short 20-second bursts in the microwave. Tip the melted chocolate into a small bowl, then dip the bottom of each cooled macaroon into the chocolate and wipe off any excess. Arrange on a sheet of baking parchment, chocolate-side up, then put in the fridge for 20 mins, or until set. You can use any remaining melted chocolate to pipe in zigzags over the top, if you like, then leave to set.

Tips:

- **Use fresh coconut:** Fresh coconut meat yields the best flavor and texture in macaroons. You can find it in the produce section of most grocery stores. - **Toast the coconut:** Toasting the coconut before using it enhances its flavor and aroma. Spread the coconut in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. - **Use high-quality chocolate:** The chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your macaroons. Use a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. - **Don't overmix the batter:** Overmixing the batter will make the macaroons tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - **Chill the batter:** Chilling the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the macaroons hold their shape. - **Bake the macaroons at a low temperature:** Macaroons should be baked at a low temperature (325°F) for a long time (about 20 minutes). This helps them to develop a chewy texture. - **Let the macaroons cool completely:** Macaroons are best when they are allowed to cool completely before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the texture to firm up.

Conclusion:

Macaroons are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and bake sales. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious macaroons at home. These tips will help you make perfect macaroons every time.
