Air Fryer Coconut Macaroons image

Nutty, sweet, and exactly what you expect from a coconut macaroon! The texture is crispy on the outside and somewhat sticky and chewy on the inside. The chocolate adds a nice bitterness that cuts through the sweetness. These are so easy to prepare and would make great gifts, plus, they're easy to freeze!

Time 1h40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (14 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the air fryer basket, leaving 1 inch on each side to use as handles.
  • Mix coconut, condensed milk, salt, and vanilla together in a large bowl.
  • Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed until stiff peaks almost form, about 90 seconds. Fold egg whites into the coconut mixture.
  • Working in batches, spoon level tablespoons of the coconut mixture into rounds and place on the parchment paper, about 6 at time. Carefully transfer the parchment with coconut rounds into the air fryer basket.
  • Cook until golden brown and set, 9 to 10 minutes. Remove parchment from basket, transfer macaroons to a wire rack, and repeat the process with remaining coconut mixture using the same piece of parchment paper.
  • Microwave chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl on high power for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 30 second increments, until melted and smooth, about 90 seconds total.
  • Dip flat bottoms of macaroons into melted chocolate and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to set. Let rest until chocolate firms, about 30 minutes.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the chopped walnuts with dried cranberries. They turned out great! The cranberries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the macaroons perfectly. ?

These macaroons are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few extra egg whites in my fridge and this recipe is a perfect way to use them up. Plus, they're delicious! ?

I've tried making coconut macaroons in the oven before, but they always turned out dry and crumbly. This air fryer recipe is a game-changer! The macaroons were perfectly chewy and moist. Highly recommend! ??

I'm not sure what happened, but my macaroons came out flat and didn't have the nice domed shape that the picture showed. Any tips? ?

Not a fan of the texture. The macaroons were a bit too dry and crumbly for my liking. Maybe I should have added more egg white? ?

Not as good as I expected. The texture was a bit too dry for my liking. Maybe I overcooked them? ?

These macaroons are a perfect balance of chewy and crunchy. The coconut flavor is prominent but not overpowering. I highly recommend using high-quality shredded coconut for the best results. ?
