Original
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
- Whisk together egg whites and sugar with an electric whisk in a large bowl until light and frothy.
- Add coconut, salt, vanilla, stir in. Leave to stand for 10 min.
- Heat oven to 160 °C (fan) and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Roll mixture into small and compact balls, place on the baking tray. Flatten very slightly.
- Bake 10-12 min until golden. Leave on the tray to cool.
- 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
