Prep: 10 minCook: 20 minTotal: 30 min
Servings: 12 macaroons 1x
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil
- sprinkle of flakey finishing salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Use an electric handheld mixture to beat your egg whites and salt until firm peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Gently and continuously fold the egg whites as you drizzle in the agave nectar and melted butter.
- Once incorporated, fold in the shredded coconut.
- On a lined baking sheet, use an ice cream scooper to scoop 12 macaroons on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 – 20 minutes, or until the bottoms and tops are golden brown.
- Allow the macaroons to cool for a couple minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
- Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium bowl and place in the microwave. I put it in for a minute and a half, stirring every 30 seconds. The chocolate should be silky smooth.
-
Dip the bottom of each macaroon into the bowl and place them on a piece of parchment paper.
- Once they are all dipped, drizzle the remaining chocolate on top of each macaroon.
- Sprinkle the tops with flakey salt and place in fridge for about 5 minutes to allow chocolate to harden.
