Ingredients
For the Macaroons
- 1 cup Coconut shredded, sweetened
- 5 tbsp Sweetened Milk condensed
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
For the Chocolate Dipping
- 1/2 cup Chocolate chopped, semi-sweet or bittersweet
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil for smoother chocolate, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
Combine Macaroon Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, cardamom powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined and the mixture is evenly moistened.
Shape and Bake the Macaroons
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out mounds of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each macaroon. Gently flatten the tops slightly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the macaroons are firm to the touch.
Cool the Macaroons
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the macaroons cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 10-15 minutes before handling.
Melt the Chocolate
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt the chopped chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Stir occasionally until smooth and glossy. Ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
Dip and Refrigerate
- Once the chocolate is melted, carefully dip the cooled macaroons into the chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the dipped macaroons back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30-40 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet macaroon, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly or use unsweetened shredded coconut.
- Add Vanilla: Enhance the flavor profile by adding 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract along with the cardamom.
- Prevent Watery Batter: If your batter seems too wet, add 1-2 tablespoons of semolina or almond flour to absorb excess moisture.
- Storage: Store your finished macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
