I first tasted this chocolate macaroons at a friend’s house. I love the fact that the taste is a balance of sweet and bitter. The chocolate has that slight bitterness on it, which was complemented by the sweet coconut. Yes! This is definitely a winner dessert that your family will love.
Our friend over at Just A Little Bite has this to say about this recipe:
“They are awesome. They are crispy on the outside, and really moist in the middle. You would think with sweetened coconut they would be too sweet, but the unsweetened chocolate balances out the coconut nicely. I definitely recommend making these ASAP.”
I made this just the other night when I was in dire need of something chocolatey for dessert. I have to say that this recipe just made it to my list of favorite desserts. All recipes on that list? They are the ones that I will not get tired of making. You have to try this too and I’m sure you will fall in love with this!
Ingredients
2 1/2 c Great Value sweetened coconut
1/3 c Gold Medal flour
pinch of Morton salt
2/3 c (1/2 can) Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
2 oz Trader Joe’s unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 tsp McCormick vanilla
1c Trader Joe’s chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the coconut, flour, and salt.
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened chocolate.
Stir the chocolate mixture in to the coconut and add the vanilla until everything is well combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a small scoop (about 1″ in diameter) and scoop the coconut mix on to the baking sheet. Place the macaroons at least 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges begin to get crispy.
Transfer to a cooling rack, and let cool completely.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for about a minute and a half at 30 second intervals. After each 30 seconds, mix the chocolate and stop microwaving when it just smoothly comes together.
Dip your cooled macaroons in to the chocolate and place on a piece of parchment paper.
If you so desire, after you dip the macaroon in to the chocolate, shake sprinkles on to the macaroon while the chocolate is still wet.
Let the chocolate set.
