Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these macaroons:
- Shredded Sweetened Coconut (2 cups)
This is the star of the recipe, providing texture and sweetness. Make sure it’s fresh to maintain the chewiness!
Prep Tip: Toasting the coconut slightly before mixing adds an extra layer of flavor. - Salted Caramel Sauce (½ cup)
The rich caramel sauce binds the macaroons together and brings a luscious flavor. Opt for a high-quality store-bought one or make your own.
Prep Tip: Warm the sauce slightly to make it easier to mix. - Sweetened Condensed Milk (¼ cup)
Acts as a binding agent and enhances the sweetness. - Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)
A touch of vanilla rounds out the flavors.
Prep Tip: Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor. - Sea Salt (½ teaspoon)
Just enough to cut through the sweetness and add depth. Sprinkle a little extra on top for garnish! - Dark Chocolate (½ cup, melted)
For dipping and drizzling. Dark chocolate balances the sweetness of the macaroons.
Prep Tip: Melt the chocolate in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between.
