Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these macaroons:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Sweetened Condensed Milk (¼ cup)
    Acts as a binding agent and enhances the sweetness.
  4. Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)
    A touch of vanilla rounds out the flavors.
    Prep Tip: Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
  5. Sea Salt (½ teaspoon)
    Just enough to cut through the sweetness and add depth. Sprinkle a little extra on top for garnish!
  6. 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.
