Ingredients
Cooking spray
3 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2 cups cornflakes
4 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Edible silver nonpareils, for decorating
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Whisk the egg whites, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until frothy. Fold in the coconut and cornflakes until combined. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the coconut mixture, packing it tightly with your fingers, and arrange 1 to 2 inches apart on the prepared pan. Form each into a pyramid shape.
- Bake until the macaroons are slightly firm and golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on the pan.
- Meanwhile, combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool slightly.
- Dip the bottoms of the macaroons in the chocolate, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Sprinkle the chocolate with the edible silver nonpareils. Transfer the macaroons to a large plate or baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is set, at least 30 minutes.
