Chocolate coconut macaroons

These chocolate coconut macaroons are quick and easy to make, and taste just like chocolate coconut macaroons should. They’re not crisp – instead, they’re slightly firm on the outside, wonderfully chewy and sticky in the middle, and delightfully moreish ;). They’re even better the next day. Absolutely delicious!

Ingredients for chocolate coconut macaroons:

• 1 tin (400 g) sweetened condensed milk
• 115 g dark chocolate
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 g desiccated coconut
• ½ cup coarsely chopped almonds

Heat the condensed milk and chocolate together in a saucepan, stirring until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla extract, desiccated coconut and chopped almonds, then mix well.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, place small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared tray.

Bake at 180°C for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
