Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the macaroon mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds.
- Bake the macaroons in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are set and slightly firm to the touch.
- While the macaroons are baking, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped semisweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Once the macaroons are out of the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the chocolate ganache over the macaroons.
- Allow the macaroons to cool completely and for the chocolate ganache to set before serving. You can also refrigerate them for faster setting.
- Serve the chocolate macaroons as a delicious dessert or pack them in an airtight container for gifting or enjoying later.
