Background

The recipe of these coconut macaroons is the original, that contains egg (not just the white) and flour (which can be gluten-free). Sugar is not required, because the condensed milk and coconut cream are naturally sweet. They make lovely presents for Christmas or anniversaries and go really well with a nice cup of tea or coffee!

Ingredients

300g desiccated coconut
1 cup flour (or brown rice flour)
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla essence
½ tsp almond essence
⅔ cup coconut cream
400g condensed milk
2 pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Line a baking tray with baking paper then scatter 1 cup desiccated coconut over it. Spread it out evenly and bake in the preheated oven until golden brown (for about 5-7 minutes), stirring a couple of times. Let it cool, then mix it with the remaining desiccated coconut, flour and salt in a large bowl.
In another bowl mix the egg, coconut cream & milk and the essences.
Combine the two mixtures - make sure it’s not lumpy.
Using a large spoon, put dollops of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, forming dome shapes. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
Transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

Tips

Melt some chocolate over simmering water then let it cool. Dip the bottoms of the macaroons in the chocolate then place them on a line baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Or/and you can also drizzle some melted chocolate on top of them.
