These coconut macaroons are among the simplest homemade treats, yet they taste surprisingly luxurious. You only need three basic ingredients and a few minutes. The result is moist, delicate, and intensely coconut-flavored bites that you can top with chocolate or leave plain. Ideal for quick baking, for guests, or as a sweet snack with afternoon coffee.

For 12 portions

Ingredients

Makaronky:

200 g shredded coconut
150 g sweetened condensed milk
1 egg

Optional for garnish:

100 g dark chocolate (approx. 70 %)

Preparation procedure

Preparing the mixture Preheat the oven to 160 °C. In a bowl, mix the shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Add an egg at room temperature and work it in thoroughly until a thick, sticky mixture forms.
Shaping Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a spoon, form small mounds and gently press them down so they hold their shape while baking. Leave at least 3 cm between them.
Baking Bake the macaroons for 20 minutes, until they develop slightly golden edges. After baking, let them cool completely on the sheet so they firm up and don't crumble.
Chocolate variant (optional) Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie and partially dip the macaroons into it or drizzle them with chocolate. Let them set at room temperature.

Tips and variations

For a more intense aroma, add a drop of vanilla extract or coconut liqueur.
If you want a firmer texture, add a little more coconut.
For a crunchier flavor, you can lightly toast the coconut in a dry pan before preparing.
A pinch of salt will enhance the flavor and balance the sweetness of the condensed milk.
Store in a sealed container for up to a week, ideally in a cool place.
