Yes, it actually is the most beautiful thing I have ever baked.
Amaze your friends with this ridiculously easy recipe:
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- pinch or two salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 egg whites, whipped to stiff peaks (think: meringue)
PREPARATION:
Generously grease baking sheets or use parchment. These are very very sticky baked goods.
Combine all ingredients except egg into a thick coconut paste. Fold whites in to mixture. Drop by teaspoonfuls, 1 inch apart, on prepared baking sheets. Press down with the back of spoon to even thickness. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes, or until macaroons are golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from baking sheet.
Makes about 36 coconut macaroons.
