Notes
- Yield: This recipe makes 12 coconut macaroons
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks if you prefer - this will firm them up and let the flavours develop even more. Need to freeze them? Pack in an airtight container for up to 3 months and allow to thaw before eating. Great for a grab-and-go snack!
- Optional extra - melt 100g plant-based chocolate chips in the microwave then dip the base of each macaroon in the chocolate. Allow to set on parchment paper. Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the top of the macaroons. See the recipe post for more details and suggestions
- Vegan option: Simply double the amount of coconut condensed milk, omit the egg white and skip step 1 of the instructions.
