Recipe No: 285
Ingredients Makes 12
- Sweetened Coconut….............6 oz/ 155 grams/ 2 ¼ Cups
- All Purpose Flour………...........1/3 Cup (Maida)
- Sweetened Condensed Milk…7 oz/ ½ Cup and 2 Tablespoons/ ½ of a 396 Gram tin
- Vanilla Essence…………………..1/4 Teaspoon
- Pinch of Salt
- Semisweet Chocolate Chips….1/2 Cup
Method of Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325˚F/160˚C.
- Mix together Coconut, Flour, Condensed Milk, Salt and Vanilla Essence well.
- Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop the mixture onto a greased, parchment paper lined baking tray. (I used a medium sized Ice cream scoop to make 12 scoops.)
- Place it in the middle of a preheated oven and bake for 15 – 20 minutes or till the top of the Macaroons become light brown here and there. (The time to bake depends on the size of the scoops; so adjust it accordingly.)
- Let it cool completely on the baking tray itself.
- In a double boiler on low flame, (A dish with the Chocolate placed on top of a deep pot of simmering Water, taking care to avoid Water from coming in contact with the dish with the Chocolate.) melt Chocolate until smooth.
- Dip the bottom of the Macaroons in the melted Chocolate and place them on a parchment paper and press slightly so that the Chocolate spreads evenly. Repeat this with all the macaroons.
- Scrape all the remaining Chocolate into a small zip lock bag and make a hole on one end.
- Squeeze the Chocolate and drizzle it onto the Macaroons to make pretty patterns.
- Let it cool completely (so that the Chocolate hardens) and serve at room temperature. Store the left over in air tight containers.
- Almond extract can be used instead of Vanilla Essence.
- The dish to melt the Chocolate should be absolutely dry or the Chocolate will separate. (It becomes a thick mass that won’t melt; if it happens, do start with a fresh batch of Chocolate.)
