🥬 Vegetarian 🌾 Gluten-Free 🥜 Nut-Free ☪️ Halal ✡️ Kosher

Nutty, sweet, and exactly what you expect from a coconut macaroon! The texture is crispy on the outside and somewhat sticky and chewy on the inside. The chocolate adds a nice bitterness that cuts through the sweetness. These are so easy to prepare and would make great gifts, plus, they're easy to freeze!

Ingredients

  • 1 , 14 ounce
  • 0.67 cups sweetened condensed milk
  • 0.75 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg whites , at room temperature
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate , chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat an air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the air fryer basket, leaving 1 inch on each side to use as handles.

  2. 2

    Mix coconut, condensed milk, salt, and vanilla together in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Beat egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed until stiff peaks almost form, about 90 seconds. Fold egg whites into the coconut mixture.

  4. 4

    Working in batches, spoon level tablespoons of the coconut mixture into rounds and place on the parchment paper, about 6 at time. Carefully transfer the parchment with coconut rounds into the air fryer basket.

  5. 5

    Cook until golden brown and set, 9 to 10 minutes. Remove parchment from basket, transfer macaroons to a wire rack, and repeat the process with remaining coconut mixture using the same piece of parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Microwave chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl on high power for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 30 second increments, until melted and smooth, about 90 seconds total.

  7. 7

    Dip flat bottoms of macaroons into melted chocolate and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to set. Let rest until chocolate firms, about 30 minutes.
