Ingredients

3 egg whites
1 pinch of salt
100g coconut blossom sugar
200g desiccated coconut
80g melted chocolate

Instructions

1. Step

In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the coconut blossom sugar while continuing to beat, until you have a glossy, firm meringue.

2. Step

Gently fold the shredded coconut into the meringue, taking care not to deflate the mixture.

3. Step

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using your hands or an ice cream scoop, shape the mixture into small mounds and place them on the tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for approximately 15–30 minutes, until the coconut macaroons are nicely golden brown (depending on their size).

4. Step

Allow the baked coconut macaroons to cool completely. Melt the chocolate and dip the bottoms of the macaroons into it, then leave them to set. If you like, you can also drizzle a little melted chocolate over the tops.
