Ingredients

For the Macaroons:

For the Chocolate:

  • 1 ¾ cups Chopped Vegan Chocolate (300g) or Vegan Chocolate Chips
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C).
  • Add the coconut and vegan condensed milk to a mixing bowl and mix together.
  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop the coconut mix onto a parchment lined baking tray. Aim for around 16 macaroons (a few more is also fine). Use your hands to pat them into a sort of dome shape (*see notes).
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until crispy on the bottom and lightly browned on the top.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before dipping in chocolate.
  • Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe dish. Microwave in 30-second intervals bringing it out to stir every 30-seconds until it's melted and smooth.
  • Dip the bottoms of the macaroons in the melted chocolate and then place them back onto the parchment lined tray. Use the remaining chocolate to drizzle over the top of the macaroons.
  • Place into the fridge for the chocolate to set.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy.

Notes

  1. Dessicated Coconut is also called Finely Shredded Coconut. It’s the dried, very finely shredded coconut
  2. Condensed Milk. You can make your own vegan condensed milk, in a blender, within minutes with our recipe for vegan condensed milk. If you don't want to make your own, you can also buy ready-made vegan condensed milk and use that.
  3. Vegan Chocolate. You can use any good tasting vegan chocolate to melt down for this recipe or you can use vegan chocolate chips.
  4. Consistency. If the macaroons seem quite soft/floppy after scooping them onto the baking tray, then place the whole tray into the freezer for 15 minutes before baking so that they hold their shape. We didn't do this but our macaroons were holding together very well before baking. 
  5. Storing and freezing. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge where they will stay good for up to a week. They are also
