Time 1h30m

Yield 65

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 large egg whites
18 ounces marzipan
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted, divided
2 cups dried unsweetened coconut
½ teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons rum
½ cup white sugar
2 (3.5 ounce) packages dark chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  • Combine marzipan with 1/2 of the confectioners' sugar and rub with your fingers until mixture resembles bread crumbs. Add coconut, remaining confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, and rum. Mix well. Fold in stiff egg whites.
  • Using 2 teaspoons, drop small dollops of mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the macaroons are golden but soft to the touch, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Place 3/4 of the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining chocolate until melted.
  • Dip 1/3 of each cooled macaroon into the melted chocolate. Set macaroons on waxed paper until chocolate has set. Store the macaroons in an airtight container, with waxed paper between the layers.
