Chocolate Dipped Coconut Macaroons Great For Passover Recipes

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, salt, and egg white in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Add about 2 1/3 cups shredded coconut. Mix with a spatula until mixture is sticky and holds together. Form into balls using a sorbet scoop.
• Roll balls in remaining coconut. Space macaroons evenly onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place 3/4 of the chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate until it melts.
• Dip the base of each cooled macaroon about 1/8 inch into the chocolate. Place cookies, chocolate-side down, on parchment paper. Let chocolate harden completely.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED COCONUT MACAROONS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all the ingredients except the chocolate together in a bowl. (The recipe can be made up to this point and kept refrigerated up to 3 days in advance.)
• Scoop the mixture with a small 1 to 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 2 inches between the cookies. Bake until light golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on the pans.
• Remove from the pan and dip the bottoms in melted chocolate, then place back on the sheet tray to set up.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED COCONUT MACAROONS (GREAT FOR PASSOVER)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut, coconut cream, salt, and coconut flavor, stirring till thoroughly combined.
• Add the coconut milk powder, stirring to combine.
• Drop the sticky mixture in ping pong-sized balls (about 1 1/2") onto the prepared baking sheets. It helps to use a tablespoon cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop here.
• For best results, pack the coconut mixture into the scoop; each ball should weigh about 1 ounce.
• You can space the balls fairly close together on the baking sheet; they only need about 3/4" to 1" between them.
• Bake the macaroons for about 10 minutes; they won't brown. You may see the merest hint of brown on top.
• Remove from the oven, and cool completely on the baking sheet.
• To make the coating, heat the chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup until the chips are very soft. A microwave oven works well, as does a saucepan set over very low heat.
• Dip half of each cooled macaroon into the chocolate.
• Set the macaroons back on the baking sheet, and allow the chocolate to set completely before serving.
• To store, place in one layer in a closed container.
• They'll keep for 2 or 3 days, but will gradually become less moist as they sit.
