Chocolate Topped Coconut Macaroons Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, salt, and egg white in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Add about 2 1/3 cups shredded coconut. Mix with a spatula until mixture is sticky and holds together. Form into balls using a sorbet scoop.
• Roll balls in remaining coconut. Space macaroons evenly onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place 3/4 of the chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate until it melts.
• Dip the base of each cooled macaroon about 1/8 inch into the chocolate. Place cookies, chocolate-side down, on parchment paper. Let chocolate harden completely.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all the ingredients except the chocolate together in a bowl. (The recipe can be made up to this point and kept refrigerated up to 3 days in advance.)
• Scoop the mixture with a small 1 to 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between the cookies. Bake until light golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on the pans.
• Remove from the pan and dip the bottoms in melted chocolate, then place back on the sheet tray to set up.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160°C Line a big tray with baking paper.
• Place egg whites in a bowl and beat with an electric beater until soft peaks form.
• Add the sugar slowly and continue beating till mixture appears thick and shiny and the sugar is completely dissovled.
• Add the grated rind and beat till it is just mixed.
• Add the coconut and the cornflour and stir with a metal spoon till they are just incorporated well into the mixture.
• (DO not stir too much) Drop one heaped teaspoonful of the mixture onto the tray about 3-4 cms from each other and bake on the top shelf for 15-20 minutes or till the top is light golden in colour.
• Cool macaroons and then dip half into the melted chocolate.
• Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a stainless steel bowl, over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir in the coconut and melted chocolate, making sure the coconut is well coated. If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• Place small mounds (about 1 tablespoon) of the dough on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing several inches apart. Bake for about 15 or until the macaroons are shiny.
• Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes and then place on a wire rack to cool.
