Ingredients
  

3 cups sweetened shredded coconut

2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large egg whites

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for smooth melting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Coconut Base: In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined and the coconut is evenly coated.

      Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites; you want to keep the mixture light and airy.

          Shape the Macaroons: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form small mounds of the coconut mixture on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the macaroons are golden brown on top.

              Cool Down: Remove from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

                  Dip Macaroons: Once the macaroons are completely cooled, dip the bottoms or half of each macaroon into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.

                    Set the Chocolate: Place the chocolate-dipped macaroons back on the wire rack or parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle extra coconut on top before the chocolate sets.

                      Chill and Serve: Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes. Enjoy your toasted coconut chocolate delights!
