Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Mix Coconut Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Shape the Macaroons: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form small mounds of the coconut mixture and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Refrigerate the macaroons for about 30 minutes to set.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip in Chocolate: Once the macaroons are set, dip the bottom half into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper.
- Set: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
