So, this is a very basic recipe and the only reason I’m even posting it is that I often have a surplus of two egg whites when I’m baking or making the Hungry Dad’s favouritest ever sweet, custard. I was stashing the whites in the freezer but decided to actually bake with them recently.
This recipe is sooo simple that my kids [even Miss6] could make this without any supervision. The choc bottom takes them from meh to marvellous.
Gather:
3/4 cup caster sugar
2 egg whites
2 cups desiccated coconut
150g dark chocolate, melted
Let’s get to it:
Preheat oven to 180C and place non-stick baking paper on a baking tray.
Mix everything except chocolate in bowl using a silver spoon.
Place golf ball size mounds on the trays, leaving space to spread.
Bake for between 10-13 minutes, until pale gold.
Cool completely before using a butter knife to swipe the melted chocolate across their bottoms.
Allow chocolate to set before eating.

Beautiful! The chocolate is such a delicious addition, taking them from cookie, almost to candy like.. Yum
That smear of choc makes a world of difference 🙂
Fantastic macaroons! No excuses not to make these!
They are soo quick & easy and taste fab 🙂
I’ve tried pre-packaged versions of these but of course homemade ones would be much tastier! I love the idea of adding chocolate on the bottom. I would make that layer extra thick!
I think I’m correct in saying that chocolate makes everything taste better! Thanks for stopping by.
this looks like an amazing macaroon recipe!! 🙂
You can’t go wrong when there’s only a handful of ingredients! Thanks for stopping by.
Great to see a macaroon post! In anticipation of Passover we have been working on some homemade versions here. Would you mind if we linked to your post when we post our recipe? They just look so yummy!
That sounds great! Thanks 🙂
Great photos that make me wish I had a couple in front of me! Simple often is the best 🙂
You’re right – simple is best! Thanks for the comment 🙂

Fast and a perfect dessert 😀

yep – and there’d be enough left-over for the next day, too 🙂
Super awesome — A MUST try
awww, ta! Super easy, too 🙂
I love a good old fashioned macaroon.
You can’t argue with the classics.
I’m always looking for ways to raise my recipes from ‘MEH’ to ‘MARVELOUS’ – looks like I don’t have to look any further!
hehehe! Is pretty much guaranteed that a hint of choc will do just that 🙂
GET OUT! How easy does this look? You have totally made my night. I am currently at the very end of a three day juice fast (again) and looking at pictures of food on the net and dreaming of my first few meals……better still I (nearly) have all those things in the cupboard. You rock my world !
soooo easy! I can’t imagine fasting for 3 days – I had to fast for abt 10 hours before having one of my babies and I was almost murderous towards the end. I hope your fast is now over and you can ALL the yums.
I didn’t think I could do it either….I eat all the time (and often too much). But you feel soooo amazing during and after that it honestly is worth the battle of wills.
Looks awesome
cheers!
Looks seriously delicious!
Thanks! Seriously easy, too 🙂
