Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded coconut (sweetened)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • Zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture until thoroughly combined.

Shaping the Macaroons:

  1. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the coconut mixture into small mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  2. If desired, lightly press down on the tops of the mounds with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.

Baking:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the edges of the macaroons turn golden brown.
  2. Once baked, remove the macaroons from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
