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 mix the sweetened shredded coconut, condensed milk, unsalted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined into a uniform batter.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Tray: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper and lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Scoop Mixture: Using a tablespoon, scoop out the macaroon mixture and place each portion onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them evenly to allow expansion during baking.
- Bake: Bake the macaroons in the preheated oven for 14 minutes. They are done when the tops feel dry to the touch and the bottoms have developed a golden color. The center should remain slightly soft and custard-like.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the macaroons to cool slightly on the tray before transferring them to prevent breaking. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- This recipe can also be made using two egg yolks instead of one whole egg for a denser texture, but using the whole egg results in a lighter, airier macaroon.
- If the batter appears too runny, add a little more shredded coconut to thicken it.
- If the batter is too dry, add more condensed milk to achieve the right consistency.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the custard-like center soft and moist.
- Allow the macaroons to cool a bit before removing them from the baking tray to prevent them from breaking apart.
