Requires
  • 2-3 large eggs, whites only
  • 80 g caster sugar
  • 200 g desiccated coconut
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • about 90 g chocolate
Instructions
  1. Whisk together egg whites and sugar with an electric whisk in a large bowl until light and frothy.


  2. Add coconut, salt, vanilla, stir in. Leave to stand for 10 min.



  3. Heat oven to 160 °C (fan) and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
  4. Roll mixture into small and compact balls, place on the baking tray. Flatten very slightly.
  5. Bake 10-12 min until golden. Leave on the tray to cool.
  6. Melt chocolate, dip the bottom of each macaroon into it and place upside-down in the fridge to set. Drizzle any extra over the tops once done.

Notes
  • apparently you can do these in an air fryer (10 min at 145 °C)
  • officially uses vanilla paste but extract is fine
