Ingredients

Scale

Macaroon Base

  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Chocolate Dipping

  • 1 cup dark chocolate (plant-based), melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coconut Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk (plant-based), vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar, salt, and natural gelling agent. Stir well until you achieve a thick, sticky mixture that holds together when scooped.
  2. Shape the Macaroons: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking tray. Gently press each mound to form a rounded, slightly flattened shape. Make sure to leave enough space between each to allow even baking.
  3. Bake Until Golden: Bake the macaroons in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the tops and edges turn golden brown. The toasted aroma signals that the macaroons are perfectly chewy inside.
  4. Cool and Dip in Chocolate: Allow the macaroons to cool completely on a wire rack. Melt the plant-based dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Dip the bottoms of each macaroon into the melted chocolate and place them back on parchment paper to set. Optionally, drizzle some melted chocolate on top before the chocolate sets for an extra touch.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded unsweetened coconut for best flavor and chewiness.
  • Do not overbake; macaroons should remain moist and chewy inside.
  • Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or chill for a glossy finish.
  • Use a cookie scoop for even-sized macaroons and consistent baking.
  • Store macaroons in an airtight container at room temperature to preserve freshness and prevent chocolate from melting or sticking.
