These Coconut Macaroons are super easy to make with 5 ingredients only. Topped with a homemade Dark Chocolate Ganache Drizzle, they are the perfect sweet treat to put on your dessert table or enjoy on the go!
Separate the Egg Whites and Yolks and place the Egg Whites in a large bowl.
Add the Pinch of Salt and Vanilla Extract then start beating with a hand mixer.Gradually add the Sugar (one tablespoon at the time) as soon as the Egg Whites start to get foamy, while still beating the eggs.Keep beating until hard peaks form.
Gently fold in the Shredded Coconut manually, one cup at the time but try not to over mix the batter to avoid breaking the meringue.You should end up with a very light batter that can hold its shape. If the batter seems too liquid to roll into small bowl, keep adding some Shredded Coconut.
Line a large flat tray with Baking Paper.Form small balls with your hands, using your palms to shape them.Alternatively, you can use a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon to form the balls.Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the Macaroons turn golden then remove from the oven and let them rest until completely cool.
Chocolate Drizzle
In the meantime, place the Milk in a small pot on low heat and warm up the milk. Remove from the heat before it starts boiling.
Place the Cooking Chocolate into a heat-proof bowl, then cover it with the warm milk and stir until completely melted.
Let the Ganache cool down a bit as you do not want to use chocolate that is too warm; it could melt on the Macaroons as a result.Drizzle the chocolate over the Macaroons and let them rest until the Chocolate has set.
