Hello and welcome to Let's Cook It! In today's episode, I'm going to show you how to make homemade coconut macaroons. This recipe is super easy and results in a delicious dessert bite that is perfect for any occasion. To make these macaroons, you'll need the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
- Egg whites
- Sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Orange zest
- Sweetened shredded coconut
- Flour
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
Cooking steps:
- Start by separating the egg white from the egg yolk. Crack the eggs on a flat surface to avoid any eggshell. Use an empty water bottle to separate the egg white by squeezing it and using it as a suction cup.
- If you prefer, you can use a wire whisk or an electric mixer to whip the egg white into a meringue-like texture. Once it starts foaming, gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract.
- Add some orange zest to the mixture for a burst of flavor. Mix in the sweetened shredded coconut just enough to combine everything together.
- Heat a stove on low and add the coconut mixture. Mix occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves.
- Once the mixture becomes slightly warm, add the flour and continue mixing until it comes together.
- Turn off the stove and let the mixture cool down for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a piping bag.
- Prepare a baking tray by lightly coating it with cooking spray, parchment paper, or a thin coat of butter.
- Pipe the macaroon mixture onto the baking tray into small mounds.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the macaroons for 12 to 14 minutes, or until they become golden brown.
- Allow the macaroons to cool completely before serving to enjoy their crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
- And there you have it, homemade coconut macaroons! This quick and easy dessert bite is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Enjoy!
