Ingredients
For the Chocolate Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
For the Coconut Macaroon:
- 4 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
- 8 large egg whites
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut cream
- 2 ounces melted bittersweet chocolate, for decorating
Directions
Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
Lightly coat a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with non stick vegetable spray.
Put the flour, sugar, and cocoa into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. With the machine on pulse, add the butter, bit by bit. Process until the dough is thoroughly blended and masses together.
Between 2 sheets of waxed paper or parchment, roll the dough into a 9 by 13-inch rectangle. Peel off 1 sheet of the waxed paper and fit the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Peel off the other sheet. With a fork, prick little holes in the dough. Refrigerate while making the macaroon
Coconut Macaroon:
Mix the 4 cups coconut, the egg whites, confectioners’ sugar, and coconut cream together. Lightly press this macaroon mixture over the coconut crust. Bake until golden brown and just barely set, about 15 minutes. Set on a rack to cool. Cut into bars approximately 3 by 3-inch squares. Drizzle with melted chocolate

Made these for a Mother's Day picnic and they sounded wonderful. The only thing I had trouble finding was "coconut cream" so I used "coconut milk" and it came out okay. To Michelle from MA who was a bit confused when the recipe said to put the macaroon mixture on top of the COCONUT crust, I think they meant CHOCOLATE crust and just made a typo.

Sounds like it's a tasty recipe but I got confused whrn it stated to put the macaroon mixture over the coconut crust but there is no coconut in the crust as listed in the instructions. Was there supposed to be coconut in the crust itself?
