Coconut macaroons, another super nostalgic dessert from my childhood. I created this recipe for my @cloudhoods collaboration using @nestledessertsarabia sweetened condensed milk. During my demo, I mentioned that this super easy dessert can be made with the kids and is an amazing idea as edible gifts, for teachers, neighbors, friends. You can use sweetened shredded coconut for a sweeter version, and drizzle with melted chocolate for a fancier one.

Coconut macaroons, another super nostalgic dessert from my childhood. I created this recipe for my @cloudhoods collaboration using @nestledessertsarabia sweetened condensed milk.

Ingredients
- 400grs desiccated coconut
- 395grs sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
METHOD
- 1)
Preheat oven to 165C.
- 2)
Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- 3)
In a large bowl, and using your hands, mix the condensed milk with the desiccated coconut and the vanilla, making sure to coat all the coconut with the sweet milk.
- 4)
Place the egg whites and the salt in a separate bowl, making sure it’s free from any trace of grease. Whisk until stiff peaks form.
- 5)
Fold the egg whites into the coconut mix.
- 6)
Using 2 small spoons or your hands, form small mounds or macaroons, and place on the baking tray. Keep some space between although they’re not going to puff a lot.
- 7)
Bake for 20-25min until light golden and crunchy.
Notes
Cool on a cooling rack and store in an airtight container once completely cool.
