Macaroon Ingredients
- 200 gm Sweetened shredded coconut
- 80 gm Condensed milk
- 35 gm Unsalted butter
- 1 small Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend all the ingredients—shredded coconut, condensed milk, melted unsalted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and salt—until a consistent mixture forms.
- Prepare Oven and Tray: Preheat your oven to 190°C (374°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper and lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
- Form Macaroons: Using a tablespoon as a scoop, place dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them evenly to allow for slight spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 14 minutes, or until the tops are dry to the touch and the bottoms turn a golden brown color. Avoid overbaking to maintain the custard-like center.
- Cool and Serve: Let the macaroons cool slightly on the tray before removing to prevent breakage. Serve warm or at room temperature for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- This recipe also works well with two egg yolks instead of one whole egg, yielding a denser texture, but the egg white creates a lighter, airier macaroon.
- If the batter is too runny, add more shredded coconut to thicken it; if too dry, add a bit more condensed milk to moisten.
- Do not overbake, as the center should remain custard-like and soft; a slightly soft middle is ideal.
- Allow macaroons to cool slightly before handling to avoid breaking them when removing from the baking tray.
