minutesIngredients
200g finely shredded coconut (whiz in a blender if yours is not fine)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
2 Tb melted coconut oil
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
- Topping
40g dark chocolate
20g nuts (e.g. pistachios or walnuts), chopped
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Add all the macaroon ingredients to a bowl and combine well.
- Press the mixture into a curved tablespoon to mould and place on the tray. Alternatively, roll into balls and flatten slightly.
- Bake until crisp on the outside, approximately 20 minutes.
- Allow the macaroons to cool.
- Melt chocolate slowly in the microwave, checking frequently to ensure it is not overheated. Alternatively, melt chocolate on the stove top via placing the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pot of boiling water, stirring frequently.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
- Transfer to an airtight container.
Notes
- Try it another way? Use your finger to press a small depression into the macaroons, and fill with a teaspoon of your favourite jam before baking.
